Snow and Avalanche Hazards Subcommittee

The Snow and Avalanche Hazards Subcommittee is a group that focuses on understanding and managing risks related to snow avalanches. They study how snow behaves on slopes, identify areas at risk, and develop safety guidelines to prevent accidents and protect communities, workers, and infrastructure. Their work involves analyzing snow conditions, forecasting avalanche threats, and recommending safety measures to minimize hazards in snowy, mountainous regions. Ultimately, they aim to improve awareness, preparedness, and safety protocols to reduce the impact of avalanches.
