A plan is being developed to destroy the bomb in the most environmentally friendly way possible, but residents of Elverum must prepare for another round of evacuations.
It has not been determined when the bomb will be destroyed. Information about this will be released on Thursday.
– The Norwegian Armed Forces bomb experts have assessed the bomb as so unstable that it cannot be moved, and it must then be destroyed where it is now. Then everyone living within a radius of 500 meters must be evacuated, says emergency manager for the police, Marianne Hjelm.
Not determined when the destruction will take place
When this will happen has not been determined, but a plan will be worked on. The police and the military are considering whether to destroy it at night, as it may take some time from the start of the work until the bomb is destroyed. Residents must prepare for a loud bang.
An evacuation center will be set up where residents can stay during the evacuation.
– The destruction of the bomb may cause shrapnel to be spread over a larger radius than 500 meters, and we will therefore ask residents to stay indoors and away from windows. Residents should consider securing valuables, such as cars, says Hjelm.
Evacuation center is being prepared
Elverum municipality is working to prepare and prepare the evacuation center, so that it is ready for the evacuation. When the evacuation will take place is not yet known.
Those who are being evacuated can come here. For example, if you would rather visit someone during the evacuation, you can do that too.

Aircraft bomb found at Terningmoen
The aircraft bomb was found during excavations at Terningmoen on Tuesday morning. A safety zone of 500 meters was established around the discovery, and everyone within this zone had to evacuate.
An embankment was built around the discovery site, and when the work was completed, the evacuation ceased. This happened on Tuesday evening and night. The bomb probably dates from World War II.
