Article life[edit]

A most immediate chain of events that have led to me writing this article starts from my article snow bridge, which directed me to the underdeveloped but fertile topic of avalanche defenses. Laudak 18:11, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Structuring[edit]

I think this is a great place to drop my ideas for Wiki Disaster Management for avalanches. Any objections to structuring the article around:

Risk and Hazard Assessment: identifying avalanche terrain, and its consequences

Prevention and Mitigation: active and passive techniques, and the cycle of observing and controlling snow pack evolution

Response and Recovery: the equipment and methods for searching, rescuing, and evacuating of avalanche victims

Finally we could then reduce the size of the equivalent sections in the main avalanche page Insightaction (talk) 05:47, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
