Evacuation warnings intensify in Alaska’s capital with record glacier-related flooding predicted

Residents of Juneau, Alaska, are facing potential record flooding as rainwater and snowmelt escape a glacier-dammed basin, prompting evacuations and intensified warnings from officials. With flooding expected to peak Wednesday, protective measures are in place to shield homes from the annual threat linked to the Mendenhall Glacier’s melting, which has resulted in significant property damage in recent years.
