VDAP
VDAP : Volcano Disaster Assistance Program. VDAP is an activity of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Its program helps mitigate the harmful impacts of volcanic activity by monitoring active and potentially active volcanos, assessing hazards and issuing warnings, assisting the development of crisis response plans, responding to volcanic crises, and conducting volcanic research. On request and working through the U.S. Agency for International Development(USAID) and the State Department, assistance is available to developing countries for volcano crises. A mobile volcano crisis response team, organized and operated by the USGS, can be quickly mobilized to assess and monitor hazards at volcanoes threatening to erupt
