Abstract: Avalanche hazard scales can express a gradation in the severity of situations but, avalanche danger being multidimensional, it implies a partly subjective classification. Considering hazard scale as a code, evaluation of entropy gives guidelines to improve communication efficiency.From experiences of alpine countries, a new scale is proposed.
