Description	This workshop is a follow on from Sessions 2.6 ("Human health problems caused by volcanic activity and Session") and 2.7 ("Understanding and mitigating the impacts of volcanic ash fall") and leverages participation from those presenting and attending these sessions. Former workshop members and other interested individuals are invited to gather to discuss working group objectives (see below) and continued vision of understanding and mitigating impacts of ash fall. The Ash Fall Impacts Working Group is newly formed and draws from a diverse international list of collaborators and welcomes new participants. The goal of the working group is to produce tangible and timely collaborative outputs by reporting on previous action items and setting new goals and timelines. Working group objectives currently include: 1. Improved ash fall impact data and image repositories; improved communication 2. More effective ash fall warning messages 3. Ash impact loss-damage functions for risk calculation 4. Protocols for data collection and analysis 5. Checklist of topics and indicators to collect impact data on following eruptions
Brief Agenda	1. Workshop description and origin of Ash fall Impacts working group 2. Reports from individuals on action items identified at previous meeting in Portland, OR, USA (9 or fewer action items) 3. Open discussion/comments 4. Summary and next steps
