The tragedy and the absurdity that happened on Utøya and the bombing of government buildings touches us all. Through news services, television, social media and on various online communities, we have had literally unlimited access to information. In a way we have been right in the events the entire weekend. We have seen the cruel and baffling up close and the personal stories that came in on Sunday from the youth is beyond comprehension.
In such a small nation, it is inevitable that we are just a few handshakes away from affected families. They are all in our thoughts and prayers.
We also know that many of our customers for have been affected both directly and indirectly. We have had and have ongoing projects for organizations such as DSS, several of the ministries and the Prime Minister's office. Many of their buildings are completely destroyed after the blast. LO and Fagforbundet are other customers affected by the massive destruction.
There are many people in these organizations that we care about and who are in our thoughts today. We feel with them, whether they experienced the terrifying events on 22 July at work or if they have had their workplace destroyed and their lives turned upside down as a result of the tragedies.
As of now, there are no indication about injured or directly affected people in our own organization. We can only hope that this situation will remain. As previously communicated, the building is intact, even though KIV 13 is located only a few hundred meters away from the blast.
Our small contribution to the government and the nations has been to develop an electronic condolence protocol. During the weekend one of our developers assisted the Government Administration Services in setting up this blog to be used together with the official condolence protocol announced by the PM during the national silence on Monday 25 July.
The address is: http://blogg.regjeringen.no/protokoll/ The services are of course provided free of charge.
