According to the latest update from the CBJ Avalanche Advisory, issued at 6:40 p.m. on January 9, the evacuation advisory is still in effect and residents are urged to limit travel in avalanche-exposed areas.

Emergency shelter is available at Centennial Hall, located at 101 Egan Drive. The American Red Cross of Alaska has opened a shelter in the meeting room section of the building, providing mass care support and feeding services for those affected by the evacuation advisory.
