Debris avalanches and debris flows warning yellow level for southern parts of Midt-Norge

2

Yellow level

Published: Valid: from 21.08.2023 07:00 to 22.08.2023 06:59
Next forecast before:
  • Danger ongoing: Monday morning 21. Aug. 2023
  • Danger decrease: Tuesday morning 22. Aug. 2023

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 yourself updated about the development of the weather and the landslide 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.

Description

Steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge, are particularly exposed. Groundwater and soil moisture are high. The expected rain will increase the danger of landslides. The amount of precipitation, or its location, is somewhat uncertain. Follow the weather radar.
