Recommendations for action

  • Observe any flood warnings issued by the Federal Office for the Environment FOEN
  • Remain a safe distance from bodies of water and steep slopes
  • Stay away from cellars and basements if there is a risk of flooding
  • Avoid stream courses in the mountains, as debris flows may occur there suddenly and without warning
