Tilflugtsadresse

Tilflugtsadresse is a term used in Norwegian to describe an address designated as a place of refuge or shelter. The word combines tilflukt, meaning shelter or refuge, with adresse, meaning address. In civil defense and emergency planning, a tilflugtsadresse can be the official location people are directed to during a crisis, where they can access safety services, temporary housing, or coordination of aid. Such addresses are often part of municipal preparedness plans and may be publicly announced or kept confidential to protect occupants in sensitive situations.

In migration and asylum contexts, tilflugtsadresse can refer to a contact or temporary living address provided by authorities, NGOs, or host communities. It serves as a point of contact for information, appointments, or housing arrangements while an individual seeks protection. The exact meaning and availability of tilflugtsadresse differ by jurisdiction and local policy, including whether residents must report address changes or whether addresses are kept private for security reasons.

Practical considerations for tilflugtsadresse include accessibility, reliability, privacy, and the obligation to keep address information up to date. Challenges can arise from displacement, evolving risk levels, or the need to relocate to another shelter or procedure. Overall, tilflugtsadresse denotes a designated location linked to safety or protection, with implementation governed by local law and emergency or immigration policies.
