“…Small avalanche catchments which are relatively low in altitude (up to 100 m a.s.l) and which cover less than two hectares prevail in exposed settlements of the Sakhalin region (Kazakova and Lobkina 2013). Therefore, on average, avalanche volumes do not exceed a few 1000 m 3 .…”

“…Apart from injuries and fatalities, damage to elements at risk caused by avalanches and debris flows includes the destruction of roads, railways, communication and power lines, the blocking of settlements, and the destruction of buildings and supporting structures (Zhiruev et al 2010;Kazakova and Lobkina 2013;Rybalchenko 2013). The spatial percentage of exposed area of settlement to the entire area of settlement ranges from 0 to 45 % for snow avalanche hazards and from 0 to 13 % for debris flow hazards, see Fig.…”

“…) and debris flows (Polunin 1989;Kazakov and Minervin 2000) in the Sakhalin region, however, exclusively published in Russian. Some papers focusing on this region are discussing issues on avalanche and debris flow hazard and risk assessment (Kazakov and Gensiorovskij 2008;Seliverstov et al 2008;Zhiruev et al 2010;Bobrova 2010;Rybalchenko 2013;Kazakova and Lobkina 2013;Podolskiy et al 2014).…”

“…Therefore, the assessment of such hazards and associated risks is a continuing challenge in different mountain regions of the world, such as in Canada (Stethem et al 2003), the USA (Borden and Cutter 2008;Spencer and Ashley 2011), the European Alps (Fuchs et al 2015), the Caucasus (Gracheva and Urushadze 2011), the Khibiny mountains (Kola peninsula, Vikulina 2009;Fuchs et al 2013) and the Sakhalin region (Seliverstov et al 2008;Kazakova and Lobkina 2013).…”

We explore the challenges of avalanche and debris flow hazard assessment for urban areas exposed in the Sakhalin region. Avalanches are a threat to more than 60 settlements in the region and debris flows to more than 30. Data are provided for avalanche and debris flow events that occurred in the Sakhalin region between 1928 and 2015. In this paper, the method for the design of hazard maps for snow avalanches and debris flows is described, providing the starting point for any planning constraints in general settlement planning schemes. These maps further allow conducting an assessment of avalanche and debris flow risk within a short time period for a larger territory and at minimum cost.

This paper presents the reconstruction results of catastrophic avalanche characteristics. The avalanche occurred on the slope of the Gora Otdelnaya ski resort on January 9, 2021 (Norilsk). It had a peak pressure of 0.266 MPa and led to the destruction of a suburban settlement, covering an area of about 0.9 ha. Six people got caught in the avalanch, of whom three were killed. The virtual and calculated boundaries of the maximum avalanche run-out distance are given. The causes of the catastrophe are also under investigation. An avalanche hazard assessment methodology for the Russian Arctic region and other poorly studied areas with no long-term avalanche observations is suggested.
