Brienz: Swiss Village Narrowly Escapes Massive Rockfall
Brienz: Swiss Village Narrowly Escapes Massive Rockfall
The village of Brienz in Switzerland faced a major evacuation as millions of cubic meters of rock tumbled down from the unstable rockface above, causing roads to be blocked and houses at risk. Geologists had warned of an imminent rockfall, and the entire population of 70 residents was evacuated in mid-May.
While some residents expressed frustration at the delayed rockfall, the mountain finally gave way with two-thirds of the loose rock crashing down. The village was fortunate to escape damage, but with a significant amount of loose rock remaining, residents face an extended period of displacement.
How should communities and governments address the risks posed by unstable geological conditions in mountainous regions, considering the potential impact of climate change?
