Consequence

Advice

Keep yourself updated about the development of the weather, the landslide and flood situation, and follow the weather radar. Keep away from steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge. Keep water paths and culverts free of gravel, waste, twigs and leaves. Clogged waterways with dammed water may cause landslides. Municipalities, Counties and other emergency operators should continuously evaluate the need for preparedness and prevention measures.

Description

Groundwater and soil moisture are high. The expected rain will increase the danger of landslides. Local heavy rain showers can intensify landslide hazards where heavy rains hit. See warning for heavy rain.
