Debris avalanches and debris flows warning yellow level for Nord-Noreg

Yellow level

Published: Valid: from 09.06.2019 07:00 to 10.06.2019 06:59
Next forecast before:
  • Danger ongoing: Friday evening 7. Jun. 2019
  • Danger decrease: Monday afternoon 10. Jun. 2019
  • Height: 0 - 2000 moh

Oppdatert informasjon -

Varselet er nedgradert til grønt, som følge av lite nedbør og betydelig kaldere temperatur. Skredfaren er nå generelt liten. Etter en større flomhendelse vil det, fram til vannstanden igjen er normal, likevel være fare for lokale utglidinger langs vassdrag i flomområdene i Nord Nordland og Sør Troms.
  • Oppdatert informasjon -
    Noen kommuner sør i Nordland og i Nord Troms og Finnmark er nedgradert til grønt.

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 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 snow, ice, gravel, waste, twigs and leaves. Clogged waterways with dammed water may cause landslides.

Description

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