Floods; issuance of warnings

Floods can cause enormous financial losses and endanger human lives. Flood damage and hazards can be decisively reduced by early warning.

Description

In the flood information service, warnings and water level forecasts are prepared on the basis of precipitation and runoff measurements, as well as precipitation forecasts, reported to the affected agencies and emergency forces, and the population and the media are informed. The measurement data is collected by the water management offices and made available on the HND Internet together with the warnings. The warnings are forwarded to the municipalities via the district offices and independent cities. The municipalities inform the affected citizens and take the necessary protective measures. The population can obtain information about the local situation from the municipality.
