Federal Authorities’ Natural Hazards Portal

Information about the current natural hazard situation in Switzerland can now be obtained at a glance from an easy-to-read map on the new web portal www.natural-hazards.ch. The federal agencies responsible for natural hazards were commissioned by the Federal Council to develop the joint web portal, which marks a further advance in the improvement of natural hazard warnings in Switzerland. The natural hazards web portal provides an overview of current hazard situations and warnings in relation to rain, snow, wind, storms, heat waves, frost, icy roads, floods, forest fires, avalanches and earthquakes.
