Explanation of the danger level 1:

• Earthquakes: may be perceptible
• Meteorological phenomena: no (particular) danger, no warnings in place
• Floods: transport disruption and damage are not normally to be expected.
• Avalanches: generally safe conditions
• Forest fires: small fires cannot be entirely ruled out

Explanation of the danger level 2:

• Earthquakes: felt across a wide area, no likelihood of damage to buildings
• Meteorological phenomena  that are normal for the respective season
• Floods: rivers are unlikely to burst their banks and floods are unlikely but not impossible
• Avalanches: low danger of natural avalanches
• Forest fires: local fires can start spontaneously

Explanation of the danger level 3:

• Earthquakes: felt across a wide area, likelihood of minor damage to buildings
• Meteorological phenomena of an intensity slightly superior to the normal
• Floods: rivers may burst their banks locally in exposed places and flooding may occur.
• Avalanches: isolated exposed sectors are endangered. Some safety measures recommended in those places.
• Forest fires: surface fires are likely

Explanation of the danger level 4:

• Earthquakes: felt strongly, likelihood of damage to buildings
• Meteorological phenomena of unusual intensity
• Floods: rivers may increasingly burst their banks and flooding may occur
• Avalanches: many exposed sectors are endangered. Safety measures recommended in those places.
• Forest fires: surface fires are very likely

Explanation of the danger level 5:

• Earthquakes: felt strongly, high likelihood of widespread and severe damage to buildings
• Meteorological phenomena of very high intensity
• Floods: rivers may burst their banks and flooding may occur in many places
• Avalanches: acute danger. Comprehensive safety measures.
• Forest fires: fires can start at any time

Obey in any event the orders issued by your local authorities and be prepared for exceptional measures.
