National Avalanche Center (USA)

The National Avalanche Center (NAC) in the USA is a government-supported organization that provides critical information and forecasts on avalanche risks. It monitors snowfall, weather, and terrain conditions across mountain regions to assess and communicate danger levels to skiers, snowboarders, climbers, and rescue teams. By issuing daily reports, warnings, and educational resources, the NAC helps outdoor enthusiasts make informed decisions and stay safe in avalanche-prone areas. Its goal is to reduce avalanche-related injuries and fatalities through science-based analysis and effective communication.
