Book Synopsis Snow Avalanche Hazards and Mitigation in the United States by : National Research Council
Download or read book Snow Avalanche Hazards and Mitigation in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1990-02-01 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present mortality as a result of snow avalanches exceeds the average mortality caused by earthquakes as well as all other forms of slope failure combined. Snow avalanches can range from small amounts of loose snow moving rapidly down a slope to slab avalanches, in which large chunks of snow break off and destroy everything in their path. Although considered a hazard in the United States since the westward expansion in the nineteenth century, in modern times snow avalanches are an increasing concern in recreational mountainous areas. However, programs for snow avalanche hazard mitigation in other countries are far ahead of those in the United States. The book identifies several steps that should be taken by the United States in order to establish guidelines for research, technology transfer, and avalanche legislation and zoning.
