Globalisation supports the clustering of critical infrastructure systems, sometimes in proximity to lower-magnitude (VEI 3–6) volcanic centres. In this emerging risk landscape, moderate volcanic eruptions might have cascading, catastrophic effects. Risk assessments ought to be considered in this light.

全球化支持关键基础设施系统的集群，有时靠近低量级（VEI3-6）火山中心。在这种新出现的风险环境中，中等规模的火山爆发可能会产生级联的、灾难性的影响。应该从这个角度考虑风险评估。
