The Oslo Student Welfare Organization is giving 1,000 Norwegian kroner to each student evacuated after the landslide at Carl Berner. The organization announced this financial support in a Monday afternoon statement. Approximately 220 students remain displaced from their residences at Hasleveien 9 and 11. The funds aim to cover essential purchases like toiletries and other immediate needs. Student welfare officials are collaborating with Oslo municipality to find solutions for those unable to return home. Geologists and the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute have conducted 3D mapping of the landslide area, but results remain pending. The ongoing evacuation highlights the practical challenges students face when suddenly displaced from their housing. This emergency payment represents a direct response to basic living needs during an uncertain situation.
