Short summary
A model of evacuation routes and timing for areas exposed to floods due to eruptive activity of Öræfajökull Volcano is presented. Estimates

therefore
lasted for 167 days. The Coordination centre in Skogarhlid was fully activated on the 19th of August and the
operation has therefore lasted for 164 days. For comparison the volcanic eruption in Vestmannaeyjar lasted for
130 days, from 23rd of February 1973 until 3rd of July the same year.

Field Data
• An estimate of the peak winds for each
home is provided
• This estimate is divided into 5 categories:
– Less than 120 mph
– 120-129 mph
– 130-139 mph
– 140-149 mph
– Greater than 149 mph
Year Built Categories
• Using the homes year of construction a
series of 4 categories were derived to
evaluate the impact of prevailing
construction practices and building codes.
– Pre 1980
– 1980

was heavy in Akureyri in December.
The
greatest snow depth measured in the country was 130 cm, by
Skeiðsfossvirkjun power plant in the
North
on 23, 24 and 25 December.
The
number of days with snow cover in Akureyri was above normal in
February and March but April was completely without snow which is not
common there. In Reykjavík the days with total snow cover was above
normal in February
