Both Ullensvang municipality and Kvam Herad have closed several of their schools due to flooding and the risk of landslides. In Sogndal municipality, several pupils are offered teaching at alternative places due to the risk of race. “With a lot of rainfall, we will experience slippery roads, flooding and the risk of flooded roads. In addition, wind has been reported which means that an alternative boat ride on the fjord is not applicable,” writes Kvam Herad on his website. Ullensvang municipality has also introduced other measures, in addition to closing schools: The Coast Guard ship KV Tor is located in Odda, an ambulance has been placed on the Jondal-Utne stretch, and an ambulance has been moved to Rullestad/Seljestad. Many roads closed Several roads in and out of Odda are closed due to landslides. It is not a new problem for people in the area. – When I get to the dangerous places, I turn off the radio and roll down the window a little. This is to hear about race, says Jan Helge Opheim, who runs a post office in Hardanger. He drove between Kinsarvik and Odda on Monday morning on RV. 13, the only road out of Odda that is now open. – How is it worth delivering mail today? – The mail has to arrive, but on days like this it’s not pleasant, he says. There are many closed roads throughout Vestland on Monday. Fv. 55 in Høyanger is also closed due to traffic jams on Monday morning, writes newspaper Firda. – There is a lot going on at vegan now.
