Mike Dunleavy issued a state disaster declaration Monday as a result of what he called the &#8220;imminent threat of catastrophic flooding from a glacier lake outburst flood (GLOF)&#8221; in the Juneau area. It would mark the third straight year of serious glacier-related flooding in Juneau, the state capital, in extreme southeastern Alaska.<\/p>\n<p>The flooding would be associated with Suicide Basin, a side basin of the Mendenhall Glacier, Dunleavy said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hydrologic monitoring by the National Weather Service (NWS) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) confirms that the volume of water currently impounded in Suicide Basin has reached or exceeded levels observed during prior flood-of-record events,&#8221; he warned in a statement. &#8220;A release is expected at any time. Flooding is likely to affect the Mendenhall River and surrounding neighborhoods in the Mendenhall Valley.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/ajk?story=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">National Weather Service Juneau office said<\/a>, &#8220;The Basin is full and continues to over-top. &#8230; As of 10 p.m. Monday, the release has NOT begun, but could happen at any point this week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/08\/12\/2ce0df6e-f17c-493b-9785-e0a980c893f0\/thumbnail\/620x400\/111345b6603b1caba22e50c862961497\/mendenhall-glacier-suicide-basin-satellite-view-late-on-081125.jpg#\" alt=\"mendenhall-glacier-suicide-basin-satellite-view-late-on-081125.jpg \" height=\"400\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/08\/12\/2ce0df6e-f17c-493b-9785-e0a980c893f0\/thumbnail\/620x400\/111345b6603b1caba22e50c862961497\/mendenhall-glacier-suicide-basin-satellite-view-late-on-081125.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/08\/12\/2ce0df6e-f17c-493b-9785-e0a980c893f0\/thumbnail\/1240x800\/0583a8d304418bdab82c534879f52502\/mendenhall-glacier-suicide-basin-satellite-view-late-on-081125.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">A view of the Mendenhall Glacier Suicide Basin area in Juneau, Alaska vicinity late on August 11, 2025\/<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                National Weather Service<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The declaration follows joint local disaster declarations and requests for assistance from the city and borough of Juneau and two local Indian tribes, Dunleavy noted.<\/p>\n<p>A GLOF a year ago caused widespread damage to homes, public infrastructure and utilities and prompted state and federal disaster declarations.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/glacial-outburst-flooding-juneau-alaska-juneau-destroys-buildings-evacuations\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Video posted on social media<\/a><\/span>\u00a0two years ago showed towering trees behind a home falling into the rushing Mendenhall River as the water ate away at the bank.
