Police will send drones over the landslide area at Carl Berners plass in Oslo on Monday morning. Operations leader Øyvind Hammervold confirmed the plan in a statement. He said both police drones and those from hired specialists will survey the site.
Landslide experts are expected to complete their safety assessment during Monday. Officials need to determine whether residents can return safely or if additional safety measures are required.
More than 300 people were evacuated overnight from the central Oslo neighborhood. They have been temporarily relocated to a hotel in the city.
The drone deployment represents a practical approach to assessing dangerous terrain without risking human safety. This method allows experts to gather crucial data while maintaining safe distance from unstable ground.
Carl Berners plass serves as a major transportation hub in Oslo's Grünerløkka district. The area features apartment buildings, shops, and connects several important tram and bus routes.
