“Money is taken to lavinprognoser”
“the environmental protection agency will receive less money in years, which means that the agency’s work to develop lavinprognoserna has come to a standstill.”
” We do not have the financial resources to go into the project right now. So we are waiting on right now, ” says Per-Olov Wikberg, coordinator at the Swedish environmental protection agency fjällsäkerhetsråd, to Sveriges Radio, Ekot.”
“the environmental protection agency is responsible for the daily lavinprognoser. The authority is looking at the same time on new technology that can improve the work, among other things, satellitradar.”
“– It is relatively small money, about a half to a million dollars we would need in order to be able to drive this development, ” says Wikberg.”
“in The last ten years, six people have died in lavinolyckor in Sweden, according to the Fjällsäkerhetsrådet. Thousands of avalanches is estimated to go in the Swedish mountains every year.”
