Debris avalanches and debris flows warning yellow level for deler av Vestland, Møre og Romsdal og Trøndelag

2

Yellow level

Published: Valid: from 16.10.2023 07:00 to 17.10.2023 06:59
Next forecast before:
  • Danger ongoing: Monday afternoon 16. Oct. 2023
  • Danger decrease: Wednesday evening 18. Oct. 2023
  • Height: 0 - 1000 moh

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 away from steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge. Keep water paths and culverts free of snow, ice, gravel, waste, twigs and leaves. Clogged waterways with dammed water may cause landslides.

Description

Steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge, are particularly exposed. Snowmelt is expected. Groundwater and soil moisture are high. The expected rain will increase the danger of landslides.
