LITT OM MEG BIBLIOGRAFI SKREDULYKKER KONTAKTINFO AVALANCHE DISASTERS IN NORWAY The history of avalanches and landslides partly coincides with that of climatic changes, with avalanches for example around 1680 and landslides in 1743 and 1789. The 19th. Century is characterised by many, fatal avalanches. The 20th. Century on the other hand witnessed a decline in avalanche fatalities. Research shows that the rare giant landslides occur with at frequency of 2 to 5 per century. Thus three major landslides have occurred during the past century; Tafjord 1934, Loen 1905 and 1936, with in all 175 fatalities. In addition many avalanches and landslides have resulted in more limited damage, often because generations of experience has provided knowledge about local danger. The historical overview is included in a data base of avalanches and landslides held by NGU and may be found at www.skrednett.no

Zigana, Gümüşhane Casualties 11 dead 1 injured The 2009 Zigana avalanche was an avalanche that occurred on January 25, 2009 at around 11:15 local time (09:15 UTC ) on Mount Zigana Gümüşhane Province in north-eastern Turkey Ten people were killed, one person was rescued with injuries and another one died in hospital while five others survived without injuries. Teams from civilian defense and other public administrations rushed to the scene for the rescue of the victims from a sports club in Trabzon after local gendarmerie was notified of the incident. Also a team of AKUT, a voluntary disaster search and rescue organization, travelled from Trabzon to the location. Nasuh Mahruki , the first Turkish Mt. Everest summiter and the head of AKUT, said that "the accident was a walking group accident, not a mountain climbing accident. It is apparent that they hit the road without an avalanche test. It is very difficult for 16 to 17 people to remain under an avalanche." edit See also Zigana Pass edit References Wikinews has related news: Ten climbers killed in avalanche at Turkish ski resort "Avalanche kills 10 at Turkish ski resort" CNN .

RTRI REPORT December 1998 New Alarm System for Preventing Avalanche Disasters Using Vibration Sensors Shigehiro IIKURA, Katsuhisa KAWASHIMA, Toru ENDO Ryoji IZUNAMI, Toshishige FUJII To improve the safety of railways in snowy regions, we are developing a new alarm system for preventing avalanche disasters. This system is composed of a detecting unit, signal conversion device and alarm device. The detecting unit installed at a slope subject to avalanches detects vibration due to avalanches strike with a built in small vibration sensor. Operating tests of the new system were carried out using a snow avalanche chute at the Shiozawa Snow Testing Station. The tests revealed that the system can not only detect the occurrence of avalanche, but also judge its scale. Trains may securely be stopped by this system, therefore, when an avalanche has occurred.
