My role for this project:
Snow avalanches are the most the significant natural hazard in Europe's mountain areas during in the winter. Changing conditions concerning mainly snowfall and snowpack in these areas, coupled with the increase in winter activities, tourism, urbanization and lifelines, are responsible for catastrophic avalanches causing significant human losses and structural damages.
This application and magazine is a concept for avalanche prediction, prevention and relief and distribution of information to the public. The specific areas are Austria, France, Iceland, Italy, Spain and Switzerland based on the research.
From European Commission Joint Research Center, In this 50-year study, the snow avalanches are the major natural hazard in Europe's mountain areas during the winter. On average, they cause about 100 deaths in Europe every year as well as severe damage to mountain villages and settlements, infrastructures and forests. Avalanche consequences are particularly grave in Alpine countries such as France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria.
