than 1 Ha, much larger than a tennis court and as large as a
football field less than 1 m (below the waist) Broken trees;
Transported branches; Efficiency of the avalanche protective
structures Low structural damage; Burial to the first floor Low
damage; Road impractical People to help, partially embedded or
blocked in the avalanche 2Size of several football fields, as large
as a very wide place in a city less than 2 m, as high as a man Very
local broken forest; Transportation of trees; Wrenching and
transport of stones; Obstruction of watercourses; Avalanche
protective structures sometimes overwhelmed Moderate structural
damage; Burial to the second floor Moderate damage; Road with loss
of alignment and the need of large clearing Multiple injuries;
Death(s) possible; Missing in the avalanche 3Too extended to be
seen from a single view point reach the head of small trees Forest
clearly broken; Wrenching and transport of boulders; Snow deposit
notoriously changing the local topography; Large waves in a lake;
Avalanche protective structures partially destroyed Significant
structural damage; Burial generalized of houses up to 2 or 3 floors
Significant damage; Road completely covered over large areas
Multiple certain deaths 4Whole valley affected reach the head of
mature trees Forest largely destroyed; Radically altered landscape;
Great piled up of objects; Many rocks carried away Total and
widespread structural damage; Building carried away or destroyed
Total and widespread damages; Destroyed bridge No possible survivor
Example of intensity and Impact/damage scale for Avalanche.
Intensity and damage are separated, the link being dependant on
vulnerability 8 8 SIGNALERT MONITORING OF ALL TYPES OF DANGEROUS

evolving with introduction of new phenomenon's after a consensus if
found to identify markers or intensity and impacts. The App being
based on simple generic and not site specific description of
environmental markers it can be understood easily by anyone Only
classical functions of Smartphone's are used making the App
accessible to any possessor. There is not geographical limit to the
coverage, SIGNALERT is operational anywhere provided you have a

situations which require massive data for a good diagnosis, a
single isolated testimony by an identified user of the App can be
significant and crucial 22 STRATEGY AND APPROACH 23 CO-DEVELOPMENT
& PARTICIPATION OF USERS SIGNALERT is developed by a team
joining: Scientists Specialists of hazards and risks Specialitss of
early warning Actors of civil protection Community of users
