Winter showers approaching: emergency number 1722 activated for storm and water damage | Interior

Tomorrow a precipitation zone will cross our country. As a result, a total of up to 2 inches of snow can fall in the north, 5 inches in the center and 10 inches in the south. “It remains difficult to estimate how much snow will actually remain,” says Dehenauw. He emphasizes that these are “preliminary calculations”.

The Agency for Roads and Traffic (AWV) warns of a slippery road surface during the morning rush hour and asks road users to be extra careful: “If possible, postpone your journey.” Anyone who sees a snow shower is asked to report it in the RMI app. This allows the gritting services to work even more targeted.

Anyone who needs assistance from the fire brigade in the event of storm and/or water damage can submit an application via the e-desk www.1722.be or call the number 1722. This only concerns situations that are not life-threatening.

For potentially life-threatening situations, you can still call 112.
