The mudslide that occurred in Ask Norway has swallowed 9 houses (31 living units), 6 garages and is estimated to be 300x700 meters.

As of right now:

1 person has been found dead, 9 are still unaccounted for.

1 seriously injured, several with minor injuries.

About 1000 people have been evacuated from the effected and surrounding area.

-Look for the helpers -

The local volunteer central has started having to turn people away as they are way beyond capacity of receiving any more gifts to the victims.
Food, clothes, gear, hygiene products, daipers, everyone has rallied to help and give what they can.

Sweden has sent a crisis team to assist.

Two dogs have been found and rescued.

They are still classifying it as a search and rescue mission.

We are still hoping. We have to.

None of the dead has, as of yet, been officially identified.
