Iceland PM speaks on Grindavik evacuation after volcano eruption: “It is just the norm for us”
Icelandic Prime Minister Katrin Jakobsdottir addressed the issues facing the 4,000 inhabitants evacuated from the fishing town of Grindavik in November after weeks of consistent volcanic eruptions and intense seismic activity.
“It is just the norm for us Icelanders,” Jakobsdottir said. “We have evacuated a whole town 50 years ago in Westman Islands. We have had several cases of volcanic eruptions… this is just part of who we are and the country we live in.”
Regarding the housing situations of the evacuees, the Prime Minister said that the government is already working on a solution and will continue its efforts through the winter.
“We have been buying flats for the residents, so now we actually have 70 flats that people can move into before Christmas,” Jakobsdottir said.
Most recently in Grindavik, an eruption on Monday spewed lava and smoke more than 100 meters into the air.
