Anchorage Residents Allowed to Return Home After Massive Avalanche, but Dangerous Conditions Remain

An evacuation order has been lifted for people living near the site of an avalanche in Alaska, but officials warn conditions are still dangerous.

Residents in the Eagle River area were asked to evacuate after the massive avalanche cut off 100 homes without power Thursday night.

Mayor Dave Bronson said in an emergency order dated Saturday that the avalanche posed a grave and immediate threat to the health, safety and welfare of the area due to damaged buildings, compromised roads and residents being cut off and isolated. . .

The snow removal process is expected to take two weeks, “if conditions remain safe,” the OEM update said. Removal began on Monday morning. (Read more from “Anchorage Residents Allowed to Return Home After Massive Avalanche, but Dangerous Conditions Remain” HERE)
