Consequence

Extensive flooding, erosion damage and flood damage in exposed places. Stormwater in urban areas. May cause closed roads and bridges.

Advice

Stay informed on the situation. Secure and/or move assets away from vulnerable areas (car, caravan along rivers/streams, basements). It is recommended to Keep away from rivers and streams with high flow. Emergency authorities must be prepared for the fact that building and infrastructure in general may be subject to serious incidents.

Description

The combination of rain and continuous snow melting will increase water discharge. Heavy rain will increase water discharge in rivers. Water discharge is expected to rise in the major rivers. Hydropower production will in some cases act as flood control, and therefore the issued warning will not necessarily apply to all regulated waterways. The warning level is increased/decreased.
