Flood warning yellow level for Troms

2

Yellow level

Published: Valid: from 23.09.2020 07:00 to 24.09.2020 06:59
Next forecast before:
  • Danger ongoing: Monday morning 21. Sep. 2020
  • Danger decrease: Tuesday evening 22. Sep. 2020
  • Height: 0 - 1000 moh

Consequence

Local flooding and/or erosional damage in streams and small rivers. 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). 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

Hydropower production will in some cases act as flood control, and therefore the issued warning will not necessarily apply to all regulated waterways.
