Important Compost Update: ⚠️

While construction is underway, please do not add anything to the community compost. Thank you for your patience and cooperation—stay tuned for brand-new community compost bins coming soon! 🛠️🌱

🌧️ Wrangell, it’s time to batten down the hatches! 🌬️

A stronger storm system is headed toward Southeast Alaska later this week, bringing the potential for gusty winds and moderate-to-heavy rainfall. Rain is certainly nothing new around here, but prolonged or intense rainfall coupled with heavy wind deserves our attention, especially near steep slopes and areas with a history of ground movement.

Before the weather arrives:

🔦 Charge phones and check flashlights
🏡 Secure loose outdoor items
🌧️ Clear gutters, drains, and culverts where it is safe to do so
🚗 Avoid flooded or debris-covered roads
📻 Monitor official weather and local emergency updates
🎒 Keep essential medications and emergency supplies ready

⚠️ Heavy rain can increase the risk of landslides. Watch for new ground cracks, leaning trees or utility poles, unusually wet ground, sudden changes in creek levels, or sounds of cracking trees, moving rocks, or increasing rumbling. If you observe these warning signs, leave the area immediately and call 911 from a safe location.

Please look out for your family, neighbors, and anyone who may need a little extra help preparing. Wrangell is at its best when we take care of one another.

Stay alert, stay prepared, and stay safe, Wrangell!
