The GVB expects a total of around 1,000 damage reports, it wrote in a statement. The communities of Brienz, Leissigen, Unterseen and Interlaken are particularly affected by the storm in the Bernese Oberland.
According to an initial assessment, the GVB expects the greatest damage to occur in the area around the Mühlebach in Brienz. However, access to the damaged buildings is currently still limited there.
