Debris Flow Association is a professional society of scientists and practitioners which seeks to foster and support research of debris flows and other natural hazards, to elaborate methods for assessment and mitigation of impact produced by debris flows and for protection of human population. The Association is a non-profit public organisation.

Aims of Association

Association acts in close cooperation with such organisations as the Russian Academy of Sciences, other Academies, the Russian Agency for Hydrology and Meteorology (Roshydromet), the Russian Ministry for Civil Defence, Emergencies and MItigation of Natural Hazards, the Russian of Ministry of Natural Resources, the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, other ministries and agencies, federal and local governmental organisations, and interrnational scientific organisations.
