位于厄瓜多尔中北部的科托帕希火山是一个陡峭的平流层，覆盖着丰富的冰雪，自16世纪初以来已经产生了大约30次喷发。火山喷发产生的泥流曾多次席卷周围人口稠密的山谷，但自1877年以来，火山基本上处于静止状态。尽管如此，该火山目前仍受到持续监测，科学和民防活动的目的是通过使用火山危险和风险图、火山爆发情景、模拟疏散和教育研讨会，使民众为最终爆发做好准备。
Cotopaxi Volcano in north central Ecuador is a steep-sided stratocone covered by abundant snow and ice, which has produced about 30 eruptions since the early 1500s. Lahars generated by eruptions have swept through the surrounding populated valleys on numerous occasions, but the volcano has largely been quiescent since 1877. Despite this, the volcano is under continual monitoring at the present time, and both scientific and civil defense activities are aimed at preparing the population for eventual eruptions by employing hazard and risk maps of the volcano, eruption scenarios, simulated evacuations and educational seminars.
