VDAP is a multidisciplinary group of scientists and technicians devoted to supporting volcano observatories and their stakeholders in resource-limited countries around the world. First formed in 1986, VDAP has grown over the years to support activities ranging from equipment donations, to training, to in-country response during volcanic unrest and eruptions. The team supports its counterparts in seismology, geochemistry, hazard mapping, remote sensing, geodesy, computer science, data archiving and any other topics that can assist with achieving best practices and improved risk mitigation as relates to volcanic hazards. The team is funded entirely by USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance and the USGS Volcano Hazards Program.https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/vdap/ Team Name: Volcano Disaster Assist Program.
