The scenario

What happens

The KNMI has issued a Code Red warning for heavy snowfall and black ice. Roads are becoming slippery, traffic is coming to a standstill, and people are still venturing out onto the roads. Residents are unsure whether they should still go out and whether public services are operating as normal. The local authority must issue a warning promptly, urge road users to stay at home and provide information on rubbish collection, schools and public service counters. At the same time, Rijkswaterstaat, the safety region and the emergency services want to share the same information, so that residents are not left confused.
