We would like to extend considerable thanks to the National Emergency Management Organisation (NEMO) of St. Vincent for hosting the workshop and ensuring it was attended by a great range of enthusiastic stakeholders. We would also like to thank the wonderful staff and students at the Girls’ High School, the St. Vincent Grammar School, the Thomas Saunders Secondary School and the Mountain View Academy, who welcomed us into their schools and classes at short notice and fully engaged with our study. Thanks also to the University of the West Indies Seismic Research Centre in Trinidad for hosting us during the final day of our visit. Finally, we would like to thank all of the people who have reviewed and given us feedback on the app, both during the workshop and school visits. Their honest reviews and suggestions were invaluable and we very much look forward to incorporating these ideas into forthcoming development of myVolcano.
