Debris avalanches and debris flows warning yellow level for delar av Troms

2

Yellow level

Published: Valid: from 16.07.2021 07:00 to 17.07.2021 06:59
Next forecast before:
  • Danger ongoing: Thursday afternoon 15. Jul. 2021
  • Danger decrease: Friday evening 16. Jul. 2021

Consequence

Some landslides are expected. A few large slides may occur. Exposed railways and roads may be closed. Debris avalanches/shallow slides are soil slides and rapid movement of saturated soil in steep terrain. Debris flows are 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

Some landslides are expected. A few large slides may occur. Exposed railways and roads may be closed. With the current forecast, certain parts of the region are more exposed. Details are found in the warning message in Norwegian. Heavy rain is expected.
