"We have tried to trigger the security alarms, and we reach some people but not others. This is because they don't connect to the telemasts," says Anton Gustafsson, emergency response coordinator for Kramfors municipality, on the radio.
How many people need to be evacuated depends on how long the power outages last. If it gets colder, that will also affect the assessment of whether residents can remain in their homes, according to Gustafsson.
