Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson has issued an evacuation order for all residents between mile 7 and mile 7.9 of Hiland Road who are beyond the debris of an avalanche that blocked the road, stranding approximately 100 residents on Thursday night.
“Release of the remaining snowpack will occur naturally or through mitigation efforts,” Demboski said. “If we have an uncontrolled release at an unknown time, that could result in the loss of life. We want to do everything we can to prevent that through mitigation efforts and an evacuation. We can prevent loss of life and ensure the safety of our residents.”
“We know that leaving this hazard in place presents a considerable risk to life and property in the area,” Boyd said. “We feel that that makes it necessary for us to attempt to mitigate this hazard as we move forward.” Demboski said that approximately half of the snowpack on the slopes above Hiland Road had come down in the initial avalanche on Thursday.
