Oppdatert informasjon -

Varsel for Hordaland, Sogn og Fjordane og deler av Møre og Romsdal er nedgradert til grønt pga nedjusterte nedbørprognoser.

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

Steep slopes, as well as streams and river with high discharge are particularly exposed. The issued warning is in the lower part of the warning level.
