Conclusions
4. Regulations in Norwegain building code
• The population safety needs to be taken care of by realtime monitoring, warning and evacuation
• The warning time shall not be shorter than 72 hours and
the evacuation time shall be maximum 12 hours
• A system for daily continuous monitoring of the
conditions, e.g. by measurements of displacements
• Independent monitoring instruments and backup
communication and power systems
• Sufficient technical and geo personnel/competence for
safe and reliable monitoring and warning

8. • Robust technology
• Leading technology
• Large economic savings in a
long-term perspective
The DMS borehole instrumentation:
• Documented to have survived
more than 70 cm movements
Conventional methods: c. 3 cm

32. DMS and Real-time warning
• Each sensor have threshold values for displacements
• Can follow directly the critical sliding zones
• Sms thresholds: 1 mm/day
• Threshold values for different hazard levels
• Trustable and robust system
• Little noise compared to surface measurements

33. Norwegian building codes has strong requirements
for monitoring and permanent handling of the EWS
Subsurface data gives a knowledge platform for
early-warning and key data for geological
models/volumes needed for evaluation of runout/tsunamis (RISK)
Borehole instrumentation is a vital part of real-time
monitoring
DMS instrumentation is a robust in-situ
laboratorium:
• Direct displacement at sliding planes with directions
• Water pressure vs movements
• Temperature/permafrost vs movements

34. Important that the geoscientific
community clearly tells the
government what knowledge is
needed for reliable monitoring and EW
