  3. Standardised Layout: New concepts and icons need time that people get used to them. They only work if they are standardised across the Alps. Once reports are standardised, a large synergy potential becomes available. (example of the European danger scale)

  4. wet + dry aval. seperately

  5. Bavaria: history of danger level

  6. morning afternoon 1 a Austria Tirol: time development moning – afternoon

  7. DAV – Piktogramme (user representatives) all information pictogrammed!

  8. DAV - Symbols

  9. Pyramid of informaton: penetration depth > > > Amount of information > > > >

  10. user knowledge today: 2/3 1/3 danger level • Texts: • Avalanche danger • Snow cover • Weather

  11. user knowledge tomorrow: 2/3 1/3 >> 2/3 ¼ >> 2/3 !! 3 danger degree greenhorn Headline + Symbol + subline • Texte: • Avalanche danger • 2. Snow cover • 3. Weather • 4. Tendency

  13. Conclusion of the working group on avalanche report • (Meeting October 2006): • too little remains in the memory of the users of • the avalanche reports • Transport more than only danger degrees! • Standardised graphical concepts • Standardised small pakets of digestable informationen • (sublines with 3 lines – english??) • Standardised contents (and order of the different elements)

  14. Conclusion: • Standardised (Glossar) graphical concepts (icons): • aspects *** • time development *** • elevation *** • regional danger levels ** (decided by regional aval. service

  15. Graphical concept (conclusion of the working group meeting)
