Home care recipients evacuated because security alarms are not working after Storm Johannes

Home care recipients have been evacuated because security alarms are not working properly after Storm Johannes, P4 Västernorrland reports.

"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.
