Avalanche danger in several places in the mountains

today at 02.14 Johan Edgar

Recent snow storms create a significant avalanche danger in the southern Jämtlandsfjällen and in the western Härjedalsfjällen, reports P4 Jämtland.

“Avalanches can be triggered by the weight of a scooter or skier, which can become large and therefore dangerous,” writes the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency on its site for avalanche forecasts.

Dangerous conditions also prevail in Abisko/Riksgränsfjällen, Kebnekaisefjällen, western Vindelfjällen and in southern Laplandfjällen, according to the authority. (TT)

  • Pandemic report: Strengthen preparedness

    Crisis preparedness must be strengthened, decisions about responsibility must be made more quickly and messages from government authorities must be coordinated. These are the conclusions that Sweden’s municipalities and regions (SKR) draw after the corona epidemic.

    In autumn 2021, eight politicians were commissioned by SKR to evaluate the municipalities’ and regions’ experiences of the pandemic. Now the political preparation is finished with its final report.

    Those who are normally responsible for operations must also do so in times of crisis, according to the report. However, no actor had sufficient preparedness, and it now needs to be further strengthened, states the preparation.

    They also call for a principle of urgency, which means that the government is responsible for quickly deciding on the distribution of responsibilities and funding in a crisis. (TT)
