Collection: CEMS-RM : CEMS Rapid Mapping 

Description


Activation time (UTC): 2014-02-11 14:16:00
Event time (UTC): 2014-02-10 00:00:00
Event type: Flood

Activation reason:
Due to highly unfavourable weather conditions, heavy snow and sleet (freezing rain) started hitting Slovenia on Friday, 31 January 2014, and continued during the weekend of 1-2 February 2014. Many regions have been affected but mostly the Notranjska region in the south-western part of the country. State of emergency was proclaimed for the whole country on 2 February 2014. Extreme weather conditions have caused extensive power cuts with more than 80,000 client sites affected, leaving around 250,000 people without electric power. From Thursday, 6th February temperatures above 0 degrees Celsius caused fast sleet and snow melting which along with tree debris in the water and rain has led to flooding in several parts of Slovenia, especially in the south-western part. High water levels are expected to cover almost all karst fields at the southwest and middle part of Slovenia in the following days.
