Published purpose

This project will develop an online database containing all available information in a tiered system for recorded fatal avalanche accidents in Canada, providing a single, searchable resource that facilitates quick access to current information and enables important patterns to be recognized and characterized, allowing for the refinement of existing accident prevention programs and the development of new ones. An efficient process for data entry will ensure more timely access to this information in the future.
