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. River erosion may trigger minor soil slips, which again may reduce the soil stability along the river.

Rain is expected, followed by heavy showers in some places. Steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge, are particularly exposed. Steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge, are particularly exposed.
