The estimates are preliminary, and it’s still an early phase. The scope and amounts can therefore still change. The estimates apply to flood and landslide damage, as well as damage caused by water ingress from outside. About 6,700 of the reported damages, equivalent to NOK 1.1 billion*, are defined as natural damages according to the Natural Damage Insurance Scheme, while the rest of the damages are covered by the insurance companies' ordinary coverage.
Extreme weather "Hans" also caused major damage to infrastructure. This is in addition to the damages covered by the insurance scheme.
