Norway has been hit by the worst floods in over 20 years. On August 17, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway visited the flood area in Østre Toten municipality. The Crown Prince couple met with locals at Østre Toten who have been affected by the flood. Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit also met with representatives from the Red Cross and the Civil Defense.
The Crown Prince then visited flood victims in Ringebu municipality. The extreme weather conditions affected southern Norway and also several areas of Sweden, causing, landslides and floods. In Norway, 4.000 people were evacuated and two dams collapsed.
Le couple royal puis les princes héritiers norvégiens ont su s'investir pour visiter les zones touchées par ces inondations en contactant différentes associations et organismes sociaux !

DeleteThe visit by the CP couple to the food region, I am sure was greatly appreciated. I hope the families get the help they need from the Government. css
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the Government will help.
DeleteIt would take long to explain how things work in Norway.
Just a couple considerations..
Water is considered as a common good and nobody has to pay for it when usung It at home.
Secondly, land Is considered as a common good too in many areas so people are free to use it especially in the northern regions.
Things do change in the southern of Norway, because southern areas are densely populated and life standards are definitely higher.
I think the Government will provide help as soon as possibile as many accesses to towns and cities are usually closed in autumn due to the huge quantities of snow blocking them.
This happens in the majority of the northermost regions.
Of course and unfortunately ,everthing might occur due to climate changes
This was a great visit. I'm sure this visit by the Royal couple gave a much needed boost and support to those affected.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see this lovely couple! Their engagement is surely much appreciated by many!

I love the last pic of the couple. They are gorgeous :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat for the royal couple to make this visit. Wish we could get a better view of her pants. Looks like the patch pockets are in a different color but are they joggers or pants? Either way, they look really cool.
