Hundreds of students in Oslo remain displaced after a major landslide at Carl Berner. Geological surveys show the area remains unstable and dangerous.
Between 300 and 400 people were evacuated Sunday when earth and rocks slid down the hillside. The landslide occurred around 5 PM local time.
Student housing organization SiO held an information meeting Tuesday for evacuated residents. Officials confirmed students cannot return to their homes yet.
Residents in the building above the landslide may return home. Those in buildings below the slide face continued restrictions.
Large rocks and soil masses still threaten one apartment block directly below the landslide zone. Geologists consider the area unpredictable.
"We understand this unpredictable situation is challenging," said an SiO representative. "Not knowing when you can return home or access your belongings is difficult."
The organization now works closely with emergency services and city officials. They seek solutions to help students retrieve essential items from their apartments.
Police, SiO representatives, and Oslo municipal officials will brief media after the meeting.
This landslide highlights the geological challenges facing construction in some Oslo neighborhoods. The city's hilly terrain sometimes creates unstable ground conditions that require careful monitoring and emergency planning.
Authorities must balance safety concerns with residents' urgent needs to return to their homes and belongings. The extended displacement creates practical challenges for students who need study materials and personal items.
