On March 14-16, 2022, employees of the Laboratory of Natural Hazards of the Institute of Geography and Water Security took part in preventive avalanche descents in the valleys of the Ulken and Kishi rivers of Almaty in the Ile Alatau. Preventive descents were carried out by Kazselezashchita, Kazhydromet and Kazvzryvprom. The explosions triggered two avalanches that threatened the Almaty-Kosmostantsia and Shymkent–Tuyuksu roads.
