On Wednesday, the Västernorrland County Board had a regional collaboration meeting with the majority of actors to create an overall picture of the situation, where it was established that there was already a lot of rain on Wednesday, and that it will intensify during Thursday evening.
SMHI’s orange warning applies to high flows between Kramfors and Nordmaling but above all in Örnsköldsvik municipality
50 mm of rain
There can be large amounts of rain, more than 50 mm of rain in two days, which can lead to flooded land along streams and rivers and in exposed or low-lying areas. The rivers between Kramfors and Nordmaling, but above all in the municipality of Örnsköldsvik, can reach a red warning level.
– We want to be on our toes a bit, says Martin Neldén from the County Administrative Board.
SMHI urges citizens to inspect wells, and if possible, clear these of leaves.
