Table 1 Examples of hazard, impact, and asset terminology in the record of impact used to determine inclusion or rejection of the information in this research. There must be reference to hazard, impact, and asset/s (each row). However, for each row, if there is only reference to a term in the fourth column, the information is not included. For example, if impact from lava and block-and-ash flows damaging villages is recorded, this is used in the dataset compilation; however, if it only refers to impacts from block-and-ash flows damaging villages, it is not included. Other sources were used to verify the impact from lava flows on the built environment if only a term in the third column was used. For example, lava flows reaching a town would be verified with other sources
