Avalanche monitoring system developed in Kazakhstan

Avalanches will be forecast in Kazakhstan. A snow cover monitoring system is being implemented in East Kazakhstan Region to detect risks and facilitate timely preventive measures. Smart avalanche sensors have already been installed, transmitting real-time data to specialists. There are nine avalanche-prone areas in the region, primarily in the Altai and Katon-Karagai districts.

«This system was developed by specialists at East Kazakhstan Technical University. It will be used to collect real-time data on weather conditions, snow depth, and snow layer temperatures to forecast avalanche,» said Telgat Nurakhmet, acting head of the East Kazakhstan Region branch of Kazselezashchita.
