This came to light at a meeting with around 350 emergency responders in Innlandet, Østfold, Buskerud, Oslo and Akershus on Monday afternoon. The transport department in Innlandet County Municipality has set up a crisis team. – We are monitoring the situation carefully, both weather reports and messages we receive. We consider at all times whether we need to reallocate resources, says Arne Fredheim, head of section in Innlandet County Municipality. One of the places that is monitored in particular is the Randklev road bridge in Ringebu, which has been closed after the damage the bridge suffered during the extreme weather “Hans” last year. – We check whether there is movement in the bridge and monitor the water level in Lågen. Section leader for roads in Innlandet County Municipality, Arne Fredheim. Photo: Lars Erik Skrefsrud / news If the water level gets too high, it can cause problems for the bridge. – We have monitored the bridge over time and it went well during the spring flood, and we hope that it will go well now too, says Fredheim. Can have consequences like under “Hans” While the sun shines and warms up to tropical night in large parts of Northern Norway, it rains down over Eastern Norway and Trøndelag. In some areas, the amounts of water can have consequences as great as “Hans”, NVE warns. Large parts of Eastern Norway and Trøndelag are characterized by several orange danger warnings this Monday. – It is a serious warning that we have sent out, so we encourage both private individuals and the municipalities to do what they can to avoid damage, says NVE hydrologist Kristina Tvedalen. DANGER OF FLOODING: On Sunday, NVE raised the danger warning from yellow to orange level for both floods and landslides in the interior and southern parts of Trøndelag. Photo: NVE At 11 o’clock, NVE reports that it is still uncertain how the weather will develop, and that they are following the situation closely. Floods and landslides could affect accessibility and lead to destruction of roads, railways and buildings, they write. – The areas that are hit by the rain could suffer as much damage as the extreme weather “Hans” caused, says flood watcher Thomas Væringstad. EXTREME WEATHER: Photo from “Hans” last year. NVE says that the extreme weather today will “quickly develop into a serious situation, with a great risk of flooding and landslides in places prone to landslides”. Photo: Ole Berg-Rusten / NTB Væringstad also reminds that there is still time to prepare for the weather to come. – Clean gutters, basins and other waterways free of gravel, litter, twigs and leaves. Move garden furniture and valuables away from areas that may be flooded. – This also applies to owners of caravans, cars and farmers who have round bales lying in exposed areas, says Væringstad. Danger in several places The danger warning applies from today, where it is expected to be worst in the afternoon, before it should decrease on Tuesday morning. As of now, it is thought to be worst south of Trondheim, down Dovrefjell and Østerdalen, and down to southern parts of Innlandet. Your browser does not support the embedding of external content. In several places, it can reach up to 80 millimeters in 24 hours, locally even more. Night to Tuesday there is also a risk of up to 20 millimeters of rain in one hour. Tvedalen in NVE says that it is a combination of heavy rainfall, and an already moist ground from a very wet summer, which together make up the degree of severity for the flood risk in the next 24 hours. – There could be extensive flooding, erosion damage and flood damage in exposed places, she says. Danger warnings have also been issued for both lightning and torrential rain in some places in Eastern, Western and Southern Norway, both of which are currently at the yellow level. Challenging driving conditions It may not come as a surprise that the heavy rainfall will also cause problems on the roads. State meteorologist Eldbjørg Moxnes, the rain could lead to flash floods and the risk of hydroplaning. – The biggest danger will probably be when the rain is at its most intensive, at the end of the rainfall episode tonight and tonight. DANGER ZONES: The danger warnings apply to parts of Eastern Norway and the southernmost parts of Trøndelag. Photo: NVE Moxnes says that it is difficult to say where the weather will cause the most traffic problems, but that the areas within the orange danger warning are particularly vulnerable. – In the middle of Innlandet county, really. Traffic operator in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Michael Olsen, says that they are also prepared for the upcoming rainy day, and are on standby. – Pay close attention. Both in the media, Yr and traffic reports on 175.no, so you know more about what to expect. Keep an extra good distance, heavy rain makes it worse and when the road is wet we also get longer braking distances. He also warns those who have to go out on exposed roads to be aware of aquaplaning. Published 09/09/2024, at 13.58 Updated 10.09.2024, at 04.37
