Those not caught [in an avalanche] should try to note the locations where the avalanched person or people were [last] seen. ... Once the avalanche has stopped, and there is no danger of secondary slides, these points should be marked with objects for reference. Survivors should then be counted to see who may be lost. If the area is safe to enter, a visual search of the likely burial areas should begin (along a downslope trajectory from the marked points last seen). Some victims are buried partially or shallowly and can be located quickly by making a visual scan of the avalanche debris and pulling out any clothing or equipment found. It may be attached to someone buried. 8, record 1, English, - most%20likely%20burial%20area

Pendant l'avalanche, observer si possible pendant toute la durée du phénomène la ou les personnes emportées et tenter de déterminer le plus précisément leur parcours, du point de départ au point où elles disparaîtront définitivement avant que l'avalanche s’arrête. Repérer ce dernier point. De ces observations dépendront en grande partie les chances de retrouver rapidement les victimes. En effet, il est probable que la victime se trouve dans une «zone préférentielle», délimitée par un angle d’environ 60’ dont le sommet se situe au point où la victime a été vue pour la dernière fois et dont la bissectrice est sensiblement dans le prolongement de la trajectoire de cette victime. 5, record 1, French, - zone%20pr%C3%A9f%C3%A9rentielle
