This report presents data and summarises the findings of a reconnaissance trip investigating the impacts of the April 2015 eruption of Calbuco volcano, Chile, undertaken in November-December 2016. This study is mostly focused on the Los Lagos region, focusing on impacts occurring within ~30 km of the volcano, which includes the tourism town of Puerto Varas and port city of Puerto Montt. Eruption impacts and response strategies may be similar for moderate size eruptions from other stratovolcanoes in temperate regions. As such, this study provides useful information for development of contingency plans at active volcanoes around the world. The 2015 eruption of Calbuco volcano began at 18:04 (local time) on 22 April 2015 and consisted of three eruptive phases. The first lasted for 1.5 hours and generated a 15-km eruption column and plume that was directed towards the northeast. Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) were generated locally and distributed radially, affecting many of the major rivers. A second phase began at 01:00 (local time) on 23 April 2015, lasted six hours and generated a 17-km high eruption column and plume that was dispersed towards the north-northeast, and the most voluminous pyroclastic density currents of the sequence. A third eruptive phase occurred on 30 April 12:10 (local time) resulting in a 5-km column and plume dispersed towards the east.
