Methods for Forecasting, Assessing and Mitigating Avalanche Risks

The main aim of this study is to develop an avalanche prediction method, based on the previously available accidents data, metrological data and related location conditions. Methodology is applied to the sample weather data inputted in the avalanche utility software through Microsoft’s excel sheets. Application is given for forecasting avalanches. Avalanche forecast is based on the observation of weather conditions and follow-up snow cover or avalanche prone areas. We will present how the forecasters can select amongst the high number of views the most relevant ones according to the day situation. We will also describe the main contributions and work of the models for different typical situations. This avalanche forecasting models is based on statistical analysis. This study also deals with to generate awareness in the aspect of avalanche mitigation, protection and reduces damage in this work we have adopted various methods of avalanche control, protection, mitigation and assessment these methods are very helpful in avoidance and minimizing to avalanche threats.
