Avalanche incident reporting

Reporting avalanches and avalanche incidents to the Snow Safety Australia serves a number of purposes:

• Timely reporting of notable avalanches and avalanche involvements is of great help in helping others. Please consider reporting as soon as possible so Snow Safety Australia's Public Forecast can use this information to warn of hazards, create more accurate public avalanche forecasts, and educate others. These efforts help save lives.
• The information is used to record incidents and accidents for research purposes.
• Avalanche accident and incident information is useful as a learning tool to help others understand how and why accidents occur and, hopefully, to help prevent further accidents.
• Avalanche data in general is a useful tool for Snow Safety Australia in its efforts to educate Australians about the dangers that avalanches present to people and property.

You can report avalanches to Snow Safety Australia via email . 

Reports of any avalanches or notible events whether someone was involved or not, are greatly appreciated.

Please consider providing a report even if your party was not involved and you saw the aftermath or heard about it second-hand. You need not identify yourself or the people in the other party.
