Three Dead, Three Missing in Alaska Landslide

Local Residents Join Rescue Efforts as State Declares Disaster

Three people have been confirmed dead and three remain missing after a large landslide hit the remote Alaskan community of Wrangell on Monday night.
The landslide, estimated to be 450 feet wide, was triggered by a significant rain and windstorm, and it destroyed three homes and cut off access to approximately 75 others.
Local residents, including boat operators, have been involved in rescue efforts, managing to save about 20 people stranded by the disaster.
The state governor has issued a disaster declaration for Wrangell and promised state resources to aid recovery.
Search efforts continue, with heat-sensing drones and a cadaver dog being used to locate the missing individuals.
