Consequence

Some landslides are expected. A few large events may occur. Exposed railways and roads may be closed. Debris avalanches/shallow slides: Soil slides and rapid movement of saturated soil in steep terrain. Debris floods: A "flood" of water, soil and rocks in steep creeks. Surface runoff in steep terrain can cause streams to change regular flow patterns.

Advice

Keep away from steep slopes, as well as streams and rivers with high discharge. Cleaning of drainage paths and culverts are recommended. Stay updated on the latest weather developement and hydrological situation. Follow the weather forecast and radar at yr.no, and updates on varsom.no

Description

The amount of water in the soil is significant. Steep slopes, as well as streams and river with high discharge are particularly exposed.
