Decryption of consultations, watches and warnings: Understand weather warnings

• Fall flood warning: take measures!

A fall flood warning is issued when a flood of falls either is imminent or already occurs. In areas at risk of flooding, it is crucial to move immediately to higher soil. A flood of falls is a sudden and violent flood that can develop within minutes to hours and can even occur in areas where there are currently no precipitation.

• Flood warning: take measures!

A flood warning is explained if floods are already in action shortly before the action or already.

• Flood advice: Be aware:

It is not expected that flood advice will be issued if the floods are bad enough to issue a warning. However, it can lead to considerable inconvenience, and if there is no caution worldwide, this can lead to situations that can threaten life and/or property.

• Flood clock: be prepared:

A flood clock is issued when the conditions for floods are favorable. It does not guarantee that flooding will occur, but it means that there is a possibility.

In terms of flood or when camping in low areas, the understanding and compliance with the Weather service flood security guidelines can be a lifesaver:

Find higher soil:

If you live in a region at risk of flooding or camp in low terrain, the first step into safety on higher soil is.

Follow evacuation orders:

If the local authorities issue an evacuation order, note them immediately. Before the demolition, secure your home by locking it.

Separate supply companies and devices:

If time allows, separate your service programs and devices. This precaution minimizes the electrical dangers during the floods.

Keep away from flooded basements and submerged areas:

Get away from cellars or clearing away in which water immersed in the electrical outlets or cables. This helps prevent electrical accidents.

Fast evacuation for your security:

If you notice sparks or buzz, crackle, snap or hear bang, you can evacuate immediately. Avoid water that can be loaded with electricity.

Omit in flood waters:

Never try to go through floods. Even 6 inches quickly moving water can be violently thrown off your feet.

Find a high floor when you are caught:

In the event that you are trapped by moving water, you can find yourself on the way to the highest available point and examine the emergency services.

In times of intensive precipitation, the risk of floods, especially in low -lying and flood -prone areas, increases. It is absolutely necessary to avoid driving through water on the street, even if it appears flat. According to the weather service, most cars can be swept away with only 12 inch rushing water. Stay safe by being prepared and informed.

Rain paths ahead: essential safety tips for heavy rain

Rain can transform streets into dangers. Stay up to date and follow these tips from the weather service to ensure security in the event of strong precipitation:

Pay attention to the fast water flow:

Avoid parking or walking in the immediate vicinity or drainage trenches, since the rapidly moving water may be able to carry it away during heavy rain.

Keep secure tracks:

Stick to the two seconds long to maintain a secure distance behind the vehicle. Leave two more seconds in heavy rain to compensate for a reduced traction and the braking effectiveness.

Reduce speed and drive carefully:

When it rains and the streets are wet, they slow down. Take your foot from the accelerator pedal and gradually drop your speed. Never use the brakes suddenly because this can lead to the car hurl.

Choose your trail carefully:

Stick to the middle tracks to minimize the risk of hydroplanization. Outdoor traces are more susceptible to accumulating water.

Prioritize the visibility:

Improve your visibility in heavy rain by activating your headlights. Be particularly vigilant for vehicles in blind places, since rain -off windows can cover them.

Pay attention to slippery roads:

The first half an hour of rain is when the streets are smoothest due to a mixture of rain, dirt and oil. Exercise increased caution during this time.

Keep it away from large vehicles:

Large trucks and buses can reduce their visibility with tire spray. Avoid tailgers and pass them over quickly and safely.

Pay attention to your windshield wipers:

• Overloaded wiper leaves can hinder visibility. When rain limits your eyesight, drive on and wait for the conditions to improve. Find yourself in retirement areas or protected areas.
• When you drop by the roadside, your vehicle is ideally out of the guardrails as far as possible from the street. Keep your headlights and activate emergency flyers to draw other drivers of your position.

In view of heavy rain, these precautions can cause a significant difference to ensure their safety on the street. Remember to stay up to date on the weather conditions and guidance of the local authorities to get a safe journey.
