The mapping is expected to take around three months. This involves a team of inspectors visiting commercial premises in the capital region and speaking with individuals residing there about the state of fire safety measures and their social circumstances. The information will be anonymised.<\/p>\n<h4>The project is a proposal for improvements to fire safety in residential accommodation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p>Following the fire on Br\u00e6\u00f0raborgarst\u00edg last year, in which three people died, the Housing and Building Inspectorate (HMS) was, at the request of the Minister for Social Affairs and Children's Affairs, tasked with developing proposals for improvements to fire safety in residential properties. To this end, HMS established a consultation forum which put forward thirteen recommendations for improvement, including mapping how many individuals live in commercial premises, as well as collecting information on the state of fire safety and the social circumstances of residents, which is now being implemented. It was decided to begin this work in the capital region and develop a methodology that will be useful in other parts of the country. Mayor Dagur B. Eggertsson and<br \/>\nChairman of SHS, Halla Gunnarsd\u00f3ttir, Managing Director of AS\u00cd, and Anna Gu\u00f0munda<br \/>\nIngvarsd\u00f3ttir, Deputy Director of HMS, presented the project at a press conference this morning.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201eIn this phase, the aim is to get to grips with the scope and the number of individuals who<br \/>\nlives in commercial premises. Following that work, it will then be considered what improvements are needed.<br \/>\nto undertake measures to create safer housing conditions for residents. The mapping creates<br \/>\na basis for the government to undertake necessary improvements and prevent<br \/>\na horrific event such as the one that took place on Br\u00e6\u00f0raborgarst\u00edg\u201c<\/em> says J\u00f3n Vi\u00f0ar<br \/>\nMatth\u00edasson, Chief of the Capital Region Fire and Rescue Service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Web  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homesafety.is\">www.homesafety.is<\/a>  has been launched as part of promotional material for this<br \/>\nproject and information can be accessed there in six languages.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00cd dag f\u00f3r af sta\u00f0 samstarfsverkefni um kortlagningu \u00e1 fj\u00f6lda einstaklinga sem b\u00faa \u00ed atvinnuh\u00fasn\u00e6\u00f0i \u00e1 h\u00f6fu\u00f0borgarsv\u00e6\u00f0inu.
