Abstract

Mount Kelud, which is located on the borders of the Malang,
Kediri, and Blitar regencies of East Java province in
Indonesia is an active andesitic stratovolcano. In 1586,
Mount Kelud erupted with a death toll of 10,000, and, during the
twentieth century, five eruptions occurred, in 1901, 1919, 1951,
1966, and 1990 with a total death toll of around 5,400. Eruptions
of Mount Kelud potentially threaten three regencies, and lava flows
threaten two. These primary and secondary risk mean that, within a
10km radius, Mount Kelud, is potentially a risk to 1,777,864 people.
Meanwhile, all these communities are at a low level of preparedness.
Mount Kelud is usually seen as a tourist destination, and the threat
of disasters has been neglected. The change, during the 2007 incident
from an explosive to an effusive eruption is still causing threats for
some villages around. This condition implies two threat scenarios:
firstly, if the dome of lava grows quickly, the threat changes from
an explosive eruption to the dome avalanche, as happened during
the recent eruption of Mount Merapi. Secondly, if the dome of lava
should be obstructed or stopped, the volume of the crater lake would
be larger than before, because the water sewer of the bottom crater
lake would be obstructed.
