Suddenly everything is white: a huge avalanche rolls over the entire village. Avalanches are among the most dangerous natural phenomena.
The probability of survival is usually low when people are caught in the masses of snow on the mountain. However, there are certain precautions and advice that can help survive avalanches. When avalanches hit buildings, the damage can be significant, although fortunately fatalities are rare. Just in January, the army had to evacuate tourists from a ski resort in China that was trapped by avalanche.
