“…The building was made of profiled log, 200 × 200 cm in section (the remaining houses in the area were made of another material); its construction site was elevated. The avalanche speed at the moment of impact, as reconstructed from the character of the destruction, was 18 m/s, and this was supported by the calculations [6].…”

Avalanche Hazard Assessment in Low Mountains, Based on the Example of the January 2021 Norilsk Avalanche Disaster

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.

“…The contribution of Kazakova et al (2016) deals with a large-scale assessment of snow avalanche and debris flow hazards in the Sakhalin region, Russian Federation. Their work explores the challenges of hazard assessment for urban areas exposed; more than 60 settlements are at risk of snow avalanches and more than 30 settlements for debris flow hazards.…”

The contributions of this special issue are centered on Russian natural hazard and risk research in the territory of the Russian Federation and the former Soviet Union. The overall aim is to promote the excellent research results in this scientific field which were, unfortunately, for decades only available to the Russian-speaking community. Despite the considerable research efforts undertaken by Russian scholars, methods and results are hardly known among non-Russian researchers and consequently neglected by the international research community simply because many sources are only available in Russian language. A prominent example includes the textbook ''The fundamentals of avalanche science'' by Bozhinskiy and Losev (1998), the Russian version originally published in 1987, which was only translated due to an initiative of the Swiss Federal Institute of Snow and Avalanche Research in Davos, Switzerland. Following a discussion among participants of the Third International Conference on Debris Flows in YuzhnoSakhalinsk in September 2014, we strongly believe that making accessible Russian research to the international hazard community will be of vital interest and will provide substantial added value to the progress in natural hazard and risk research.Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article

“…Traditionally, the evaluation of highway debris flow disaster is mostly from the perspective of "line" (Tian et al, 2013b;Yin & Zhang, 2018), and debris flow, as a geomorphic phenomenon, has geomorphic zonality, and also has the law of regional distribution difference. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the highway debris flow disaster from the regional perspective (Kazakova et al, 2017;Sun et al, 2021). The risk assessment of highway geological disasters can quantify the risk value of highway geological disasters in different regions, understand the extent of highway damage, carry out targeted disaster prevention and management measures, and ensure the long-term development of society and economy (Ding et al, 2020).…”

The southwest mountainous area is a frequent debris flow disaster area in China, which poses a serious threat to the regional roads and greatly affects the normal traffic operation and the safety of residents' lives and property. The debris flow risk assessment of highway can quantify the threat degree of debris flow to the roads. In this paper, from the perspective of villages and towns, taking the upper reaches of Minjiang River as the research area, four factors including road network density, highway disaster resistance capacity, population density and highway cost are selected, and the weight is obtained by using entropy weight method, and the debris flow vulnerability evaluation results of highway are obtained by weighted calculation. Four indexes of debris flow density, shape factor, relative height difference and annual rainfall are selected to evaluate the debris flow hazard of highway by using the information method. Based on the vulnerability and hazard evaluation results, the risk of highway debris flow is evaluated, and the results are classified and discussed. The results show that: the risk of debris flow on the upper reaches of Minjiang River is relatively low, the overall spatial distribution shows a trend of high in the East and low in the west, and the overall risk of township roads in Wenchuan county is the highest; The risk of debris flow is generally high within −10 to 30 km from the central fault zone of Longmenshan.
