Several people refuse to leave the landslide area in Schwanden in the canton of Glarus.
In doing so, you are defying an order from the authorities.
According to the municipality of Glarus-Süd, it cannot be ruled out that the situation in the landslide area will worsen.
Further information will be provided throughout the day.
According to a statement from the municipality of Glarus-Süd on Saturday evening, the overall situation in the Wagenrunse landslide area remained unchanged despite the rain easing during the day. The extent of damage in the village has increased.
On Friday it was said that 30 people would be evacuated for probably two nights. On Saturday afternoon, the community offered a final option for evacuation. Ten people agreed, five remained in their apartments, it was said. The result is that those who remain are not allowed to leave the house until further notice. Violations would be punished with criminal charges and heavy fines.
Buildings are to be demolished
There is still a risk of 60,000 cubic meters of material slipping into the depths – twice as much as fell at the end of August and destroyed and damaged a number of houses.
The area now affected is only a few meters from the so-called red zone, where the debris flows in August caused the greatest damage. Only last week it became clear that the 40 people affected in this zone would never be able to return to their homes. The buildings are even supposed to be demolished.
