Thanks, Ryan. And, and beyond just numbers, what are the main areas or neighborhoods in the evacuation zone this year that were not last year? It, from my read, it's mostly the southern part of the valley, but wanting to make sure that those areas are notified of their evacuation advisory. Yeah, that, that's correct. More of the southern part of the valley is included in the evacuation advisory, and it's also a little bit, a little bit wider around the river.
The City and Borough of Juneau has nearly doubled its evacuation advisory area ahead of the annual Mendenhall glacier outburst flood, covering just over 1,900 residences this year versus roughly 1,000 last year. Officials say HESCO barriers are complete but warn the system is fragile and urge all residents in the zone to evacuate.
