📢 Traveler & Public Safety Alerts

🚧 Firefighting operations can affect traffic along highways near active fire zones. Check 511.alaska.gov  for real time road closures and conditions.

 🛟 Stay safe: Register for alerts, keep a go-kit, prepare defensible space, and avoid travel in affected areas.

⚠️ Do not operate drones in fire areas! Flying drones or UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) within or near wildfires could cause injury or death to firefighters and hamper their ability to protect lives, property, and resources. If you fly, we can’t!

📞 Local authorities and borough emergency services are coordinating evacuations.
