The hazard assessment map layer shows the locations of all the hazard assessments included in the current report (Fig. 1). They are displayed at the centre point of the location(s) associated with the hazard assessment. The location(s) are also displayed as grey shaded polygons if available.

The icons of the hazard assessments are shown depicting the ratings submitted by elevation band Alpine (top) / Treeline (middle) / Below Treeline (bottom). The color for each band represents the rating:

  • 1 - Green
  • 2 - Yellow
  • 3 - Orange
  • 4 - Red
  • 5 - Black

Functionality

  • Click on the Avalanche Hazard checkbox in the layer hierarchy panel to show/hide this layer on the map.
  • Click on the icon of an individual hazard assessment to view its details in a pop-up window (Fig. 2). The pop-up window contains all of the information that was submitted for the observation including links to Avalanche Problem and PWL details if they were included.
