National Avalanche Center

The National Avalanche Center (NAC) is a U.S. agency focused on improving avalanche safety and awareness. It provides scientific research, educational resources, and forecasts to help prevent avalanche accidents and protect lives in mountainous regions. The center collaborates with local avalanche centers, government agencies, and educational institutions to share knowledge about snow safety and avalanche dynamics. By disseminating information on current conditions and risks, NAC aims to promote safe practices among outdoor enthusiasts, winter sports participants, and land managers, ultimately reducing the impact of avalanches on communities and ecosystems.
