This paper presents some basic concepts on possible cooperative framework for contributing to disaster mitigation during volcanic eruptions with the intention of enhancing discussion among members of the Volcanological Society of Japan. At first, this paper describes some examples of problems that have been argued during recent volcanic eruptions because of improper risk communication of volcanologists, and then, outlines the present state of a coordination system for effective disaster assistance by multiple stakeholders with a focus on recent efforts in public health and medical communities. Preliminary ideas on “Expert Assistance Team during Volcanic Crises” are also presented for further discussions.
