A story is told of an avalanche that hit a village in the middle of the night. The large chunk of snow that detached from the glacier crashed down, covering houses in snow and breaking walls, shutters, and windows. Several prevention methods are proposed to stop avalanches, such as building breaks, barriers, trenches, and planting more trees as obstacles. Avalanches commonly fall in hilly areas like Gilgit, Siah Chin, Kalam, Malam Jaba, and Honza Valley.
