Floods and landslides
are the most lethal and destructive natural
phenomena in Norway next to storms. No other
natural disasters take more human lives or
have larger economic consequences. With
climate change, we can expect higher
temperatures and increased rain. This also
means an increased risk of more devastating
and frequent floods. This is why we
established Forsyst.
Our company strives to accurately predict
floods so that public and private entities
can prepare and prevent damages to
infrastructure, buildings, livestock and
other elements at risk.
