Suicide Basin nears full capacity as Juneau prepares for flooding

Juneau is preparing for possible Mendenhall River flooding as Suicide Basin nears full capacity.

Army Corps will soon take next step toward long-term Juneau glacial flooding solution

NOAA’s latest forecast shows Suicide Basin will likely be full by Monday or Tuesday, with the glacial water release expected up to six days later.

LETTER: Keep Juneau’s long-term flood solution moving forward

I want to thank the City and Borough of Juneau for the additional efforts being made this year to support and prepare those of us living in the glacial outburst flood area. Because of the increased communication, planning, and resources, I feel better informed and more prepared for this year’s outburst. After what many of us have experienced, that has made a real difference.
