Debris avalanches and debris flows warning yellow level for deler av Troms og Finnmark

2

Yellow level

Published: Valid: from 14.07.2022 07:00 to 15.07.2022 06:59
Next forecast before:
  • Danger ongoing: Wednesday morning 13. Jul. 2022
  • Danger decrease: Sunday morning 17. Jul. 2022

Consequence

Landslides may be expected. Exposed railways and roads may be closed. Debris flows may reach the valley bottom even if they are triggered high in the terrain.

Advice

Keep water paths and culverts free of snow, ice, gravel, waste, twigs and leaves. Clogged waterways with dammed water may cause landslides. River erosion may trigger minor soil slips, which again may reduce the soil stability along the river. Be aware of such soil slips in areas mapped with quick clay, and areas with marine deposits. If such observations are made, do not hesitate to alert responsible municipal emergency staff at the local kommune. Keep yourself updated about the development of the weather, the landslide and flood situation, and follow the weather radar.

Description

Steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge, are particularly exposed. Rain is expected, followed by heavy showers in some places. Rain is expected, followed by heavy showers in some places. The amount of precipitation, or its location, is somewhat uncertain. Follow the weather radar.
