Volcanic hazards map for Hudson, Chile, illustrating hazards integrated by hazard level using a red–orange-yellow colour scheme in the main map, i.e., very high (red), high (orange), medium (yellow) and low (light yellow) hazard zones (Amigo and Bertin 2014). The lower right panel shows the same volcano with hazards integrated by location, i.e., purple (proximal, corresponding to all the hazard zones on the main map) and light yellow (distal, corresponding to the extension of the main lahar paths beyond the volcano). The lower left panels show tephra hazard for two different scenarios, across four seasons, also using a red–orange-yellow colour scheme. This hazard map is thus also an example of a map that includes additional maps to highlight different aspects of hazard at different scales. It was produced as a “large poster with an accompanying report”. A high-resolution version of this map can be accessed via the Volcanic Hazard Maps Database: VHMD ID 734.
