The municipality arranges overnight accommodation

Iréne Robertsson, Municipal Manager in Olofström, is on hand to be available. The municipality will assist the residents with overnight accommodation if needed.

- No one ends up in the street, we support but so far we wait and see where it is needed, she says.
