Whilst the municipal authorities initially warned residents against the surveys, it transpired on Monday that a neighbours' initiative is behind the move. Neighbours affected by the tornado themselves decided to set up the initiative and have been approaching other residents with the survey to get a better overview of any ongoing issues.
The purpose of the initiative is to show the authorities that those affected are still having issues four months after the tornado struck.
In the press release published on Monday, the initiative highlighted that not everyone has been able to go to the municipality's meetings and the surveys provide a means to inform all those affected, especially the less mobile victims.
