About this document
Avalanche and Cyclone Safety Guide by pankaj24x7 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
An avalanche is a rapid flow of packed snow down a slope that occurs when the forces on the snow exceed its strength, causing a mechanical failure. Avalanches can entrain ice, rocks, trees and other debris as they accelerate. Organized rescue teams respond to avalanche victims and have four primary goals - immediate search to find and uncover buried victims, providing medical care, transporting victims to advanced care, and supporting rescuers with logistics.
