Canada's New Colour Coded Alerts

Environment and Climate Change Canada has launched colour-coded weather alerts to help Canadians quickly understand their level of risk during severe weather.

But, what do the colours mean?

Yellow: Hazardous Impacts moderate, localized, and/or short-term

Orange (most common): Severe, Impacts major and/or widespread

Red (uncommon): Very dangerous, Impacts extreme, extensive, and prolonged, or rare

Remember: know the colour, know the risk. Learn more at Canada.ca/Weather-Alerts #WeatherReady
