Excerpt from recent report on Barry Arm Landslide, which states: “Recent changes in operational policies at partnered Federal agencies have resulted in delays in equipment repairs and service renewals essential to maintaining full operational readiness. We recognize the importance of this monitoring system to our federal, state, and local partners, including the U.S. Forest Service, Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, the U.S. Coast Guard, the City of Whittier, and the City of Valdez. We are working closely with agency leadership to address these challenges and minimize impacts to emergency preparedness and response operations.” https://dggs.alaska.gov/hazards/barry-arm-landslide.html
The #Trump administration’s mass firings of federal workers & funding restrictions have affected monitoring of #BarryArm, a #landslide-prone slope that could create a dangerous #tsunami in #Alaska’s #PrinceWilliamSound. alaskabeacon.com/briefs/feder...
