Analysis of lava flow impacts for use in risk assessments by Meredith, Elinor Siwan

“…The best source of data for understanding potential damage from lava flows is empirical impact data collected during past events; however, buildings or infrastructure in contact with lava have commonly been assumed to be completely destroyed. This means that tools used to forecast impact (such as fragility functions relating hazard intensity to damage probability) are binary: in contact with lava results in complete destruction, not in contact with lava results in no damage. …”
