Write an explanatory note on the causes and impacts of avalanches. Also, highlight the various strategies to mitigate its impact, with a special emphasis on NDMA guidelines.
Introduction
Avalanches are the last rock, pieces & debris of ice fall under the influence of gravity. It is a 'ice-landslide'.

Main Body
[Causes]
Natural -> frequent snow fall (gravitationally ad), steep slope (slope failure), rise of temperature (leads to [illegible] Tectonics (climatic change)).
Man made -> degradation of sloped (unbridled development), climate change (extreme temperature).
[Impacts]
Causes also affected.
Strategies needed -->
Avalanches are the part and parcel of hilly regions, but their hazard & vulnerability should not lead to disaster.
Conclusion
Avalanches are the part and parcel of hilly regions, but their hazard & vulnerability should not lead to disaster.
