Local flooding and/or erosional damage in streams and small rivers. Rapid increase of discharge in streams and small rivers. Local inundation where river channels are filled with ice. Stormwater in urban areas. Ice drift in streams due to increase of discharge, with subsequent local inundation. May cause closed roads and bridges.
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.
The combination of rain and continuous snow melting will increase water discharge. Rapid increase of discharge in small and medium sized rivers is expected. Hydropower production will in some cases act as flood control, and therefore the issued warning will not necessarily apply to all regulated waterways.
