Storm and orange warning in Eastern Norway
Published
The storm hit Norway during the night to Sunday, and now parts of Eastern Norway are exposed to severe weather challenges. NVE has issued an orange warning. This means there is a risk of flooding and landslides in several areas.
NVE is the state agency that monitors water, snow and the ground in Norway. When they issue an orange warning, it means the danger is significant, and that people should follow information from the authorities. The warning applies to parts of Eastern Norway, but the original message did not specify which municipalities are most affected.
Floods and landslides can occur when it rains heavily over a short period, or when snow melts quickly. Landslides are especially dangerous in steep areas, and they can occur without much advance warning. The authorities therefore urge people to stay informed and avoid dangerous areas.
It is important to follow news and warnings from NVE, the Meteorological Institute and local authorities. If you live in an exposed area, you should check whether you need to take precautions. So far, no serious damage has been reported in connection with the storm.
