Help with Developing the New European Danger Scale
Date Posted: 13.56hrs on Tue 17 Mar 26
Hi All I am a forecaster with the SAIS and have been part of a Risk Communication working group in the European Avalanche Warning Services for a few of years, reviewing and researching how users(and forecasters) relate to or understand the European Danger Scale which was developed 33 yrs ago. Finally there has been significant work done in developing the new Danger Scale descriptors to try and make it more understandable. This work is reaching it final phase after no change since 1993.
Importantly we need user feedback to decide on the final version of the scale. We have put together the attached survey group with psychologists and behavioural experts.

We would be grateful if you could check out link below and complete the survey which should take around 5 minutes you could also share that would be much appreciated. With grateful thanks Mark Diggins.
