Evacua­ti­on in Lon­gye­ar­by­en ended after four months

In mid-Febru­ary, an ava­lan­che from the moun­tain Suk­ker­top­pen hit hou­ses in Lon­gye­ar­by­en and des­troy­ed two buil­dings. 92 house­holds were evacua­ted. The last inha­bi­tants in way 226 could now return to their hou­ses on the weekend.

Whe­ther and for how long they can stay in their homes is still com­ple­te­ly unclear. Exten­si­ve secu­ri­ty mea­su­res are plan­ned to pro­tect the hou­ses from ava­lan­ches. Howe­ver, seve­ral hou­ses in the ava­lan­che area may have to be demo­lished. Pro­ba­b­ly the resi­dents in way 226 can only use their hou­ses during the sum­mer.
