Local flooding and/or erosional damage in streams and small rivers.

Advice

Stay informed on the situation. Secure and/or move assets away from vulnerable areas (car, caravan along rivers/streams, basements). Keep away from rivers and streams with high flow.

Description

Water discharge is expected to increase because of rain and snowmelt. This may cause local inundation where river channels are filled with ice and because of frozen ground. It also may cause ice drift in streams, with subsequent local inundation. Water discharge is expected to increase in the major rivers. Local flooding and erosion damage. High flow/water level in comparison to normal seasonal variations.
