Motivation
Program
Program
The community of European Avalanche Warning Services (EAWS)
was founded in 1983 by five national avalanche warning centres,
namely those of Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland.
These organisations realised that an international cooperation was
essential for public safety, that they would benefit from each other’s expertise and that it was not possible to restrict an avalanche
hazard to within national borders, especially due to skiers and
backcountry tourists frequently engaging in cross-border skiing
and moving freely between countries.
People in Bavaria and in other alpine states go to the mountains
for all kinds of activities. We are aware of our responsibility towards our citizens and wish to ensure them safe access to the
mountains by creating an awareness of the dangers that exist.
This year, 33 years after the first conference, the EAWS boast 35
separate avalanche warning services from 16 countries. These organisations are invited to share their knowledge and to help decide on innovation within the EAWS. The aim of EAWS was and
still is to improve cooperation and communication among its members. An international harmonisation of the avalanche bulletins is
paramount in order to provide standardised and expedient information for the public. These goals can only be reached if experts
and users exchange ideas, experiences, needs and operational
practices.
In-depth communication is crucial at all levels, especially for creating hazard awareness with third parties and the public. We would
therefore like to invite all members of avalanche warning services,
alpine clubs and other public stakeholders to meet up and focus
on the common goal of communication and avalanche hazard
training. We wish to hold a panel discussion on the second day to
discuss challenges, problems and experiences. This will help us
identify upcoming topics and establish a road map for EAWS for
the next years.
The Bavarian Avalanche Warning Service would like to contribute to
improved communication within and outside the EAWS whose key
aim is to increase public awareness of avalanche hazards. I wish
the meeting at Lake Starnberg every success.
