In the affected areas, some municipalities have opened drop-in centres in, for example, fire stations. There you can get drinking water, charge your mobile phone, or get warm for a little while. In many places, the power outage is also affecting telephony and access to drinking water. The municipalities have arranged standpipes where you can pick up drinking water.
