How can you prevent avalanche accidents - seminar at ICAR | His Gerremo
It was the first time that it was located in Sweden. Location; Åre Holiday Club on 18-19 October 2011. Approximately 300 people from 31 countries participated in 4 days. Different themes have been addressed. Below are notes from a seminar with the above title.
The three countries had different theories on how to work to achieve the goal. Much depends on the "culture" coastal enterprises that precisely in each country. No one believes or believed to have common message about this which could be used in all countries, however, that the same type of symbols in information.
One could say that there was a paradigm shift Feb. 1, 2003, when a school class in Rogers Pass was out in a valley and was surprised by an avalanche in which 19 students coastal enterprises were completely coastal enterprises buried under the snow, and 7 of them were killed. This was the start which made everyone act of trying to be better at preventing accidents. This affected the whole country. It was a huge task in the media and among politicians. They looked at; Why did this happen? How could this happen? Who let this happen?
One of the conclusions was that the avalanche forecasts as you go out with, was too technical. Should evaluate different types of leads with "light" or "moderate" coastal enterprises or "advanced" for example. People need more general tools to absorb the information.
They contacted the media and changed the forecast language and simplified alert system with icons. They also shared in the receivers in 4 different groups, where they targeted different kinds of messages. The general public who have no experience at all of avalanches Active outdoor people Active trained with knowledge coastal enterprises of avalanches and professionals or advanced. coastal enterprises
They went out to tour or activity organizers with specific warnings. The mass media (press, radio and TV) Training for young people in school (7000 pcs in 20 municipalities) Website coastal enterprises with basic Knowledge Seminars 1-2 hr special day, "National Avalance Day) Today it has it in 40 municipalities. (Although France coastal enterprises has Avalance Day 3500 participants in 20 counties)
In addition, it issued a level higher and then they made a 2 days training training, coastal enterprises laid out a website with more in-depth information, conducted training in hazardous terrain and developed a tool to easily make decisions; "The decision tool AVALUATOR"! It can easily carry in your pocket and pick up and read by certain conditions in the snow, temperature, terrain, and add them as a value in the decision tool which subsequently resulted coastal enterprises in that you could read if it was appropriate to go into that particular terrain.
In a workshop with about 60 people attended, asked the following coastal enterprises questions. What kind of activities are there in snowsports that we should focus on? (Alpine skiing, ski touring, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, off-piste, etc.) Where do the visitors beyond the different activities? (Local, national or international) Which activity has the highest risk? What kind of information we can use to reach out to the different target groups? How effective coastal enterprises are these uses to reach the target coastal enterprises audience? How costly is usages? What type of audience is most effective to reach to learn more?
What can we draw conclusions after a workshop with the above questions? Off piste, backcountry and snowmobiling coastal enterprises was it that caused the most accidents. A variety of local, national and international, depending on which country you were watching. When graded risks of each one so low backcountry and snowmobiling in high risk. Regarding the information, they had both traditional methods to recommend that the press, coastal enterprises TV and radio, and social media. One should simply look at the audience as they want to, where they exist online, or was "hanging" them most. There we can reach them. Many argued that manufacturers of skis and apparel and safety equipment coastal enterprises nowadays attach safety warnings, and the sale and rental also informs extensively. It was suggested that this takes to itself the most. The effectiveness of the man goes out with the warning and information is difficult to say at the same time to ensure the cost of this.
..... Some believe it is a type of BEHAVIOR! Nils from Norway saw two important things in a pattern regarding people's behavior; First "Modern life is boring!" That's why you want to challenge, coastal enterprises pumping adrenaline, test their limits 2nd Many acquire a degree and a profession, but it turns out that it's not what you want to get involved with. There are other values in life. Man wants to get an "identity" of some kind and then shall they do something that stands out and you can be remembered or seen before. "Postmodernism" is also called according to Nils.
One of the concluding statements of defense; It does not matter if it is the state or through organizations such as going out with information and then make sure to take responsibility. It is finally coastal enterprises the organizer that makes the activity that may take on the responsibility. Ask me, Mark said from Canada eh
