Avalanche pose a significant problem in most mountain regions of Russia. The constant growth of economic activity in highlands and the increased avalanche hazard lead to the demand to develop the methods of large-scale avalanche hazard assessment. This is needed for the determination of appropriate avalanche protection and life safety measures in avalanche-prone areas, as well as for economical reasons. The data obtained from large-scale avalanche risk assessments using our method should be valuable for various economical estimations of developing mountain regions in Russia The actuality of natural hazard risk estimations is also determined by the Federal Law of Russian Federation. According to the National Standards, such estimations should take place during the engineering surveys of the object. However, the required standard algorithm and formulas for such assessments do not exist (and cant be found) in official documentation. According this problem, our main purpose was to develop the large-scale risk assessment method and to approbate it on the developing but poorly researched ski resort areas. This method includes the formulas to calculate collective and individual avalanche risk. The results of risk analysis are shown in quantitative data that can be used to determine levels of avalanche risk (appropriate, acceptable and inappropriate) and to suggest methods to decrease the individual risk to acceptable level or better. It makes possible to compare risk quantitative data obtained from different regions, analyze it and evaluate the economical feasibility of protection measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
