🌊 New video from NWS Juneau explains how we monitor Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) in Southeast Alaska — including Suicide Basin & Mendenhall River. 🎥 Watch here: youtu.be/ZHByQilYuyg?si… #GLOF #Juneau #SEAlaska #FloodSafety

Why do Glacial Lake Outburst Floods happen? 🌊 This NWS Juneau video explains how melting glaciers create GLOFs — and why Juneau's case is unique. 🎥youtu.be/TIduCjsz-Pk?si… #GLOF #Juneau #SEAlaska #FloodSafety

🌊 GLOFs can be partial or full — but we can’t tell which during the event. That’s why NWS Juneau always forecasts for a full release, like those in 2023 & 2024. 🎥 Learn more: youtu.be/OPu9xRZf0gU?si… #SEAlaska #GLOF #MendenhallRiver #SuicideBasin #NWSJuneau #FloodSafety

❓Can we forecast exactly when a GLOF will happen? No — but NWS Juneau can recognize the signs early and respond fast. 🎥 Learn what to watch for and how we keep the public informed: youtu.be/ScWV8XGNtvk?si… #GLOF #Juneau #FloodSafety #SEAlaska #AKwx

🧰 “Preparedness is like a plunger—you want it before you need it.” NWS Juneau shows how to use flood inundation maps to prep for GLOFs before or during an event. 🌐 View maps: water.noaa.gov/gages/MNA2 🎥 Watch: youtu.be/tPD2PwSMFtA?si… #GLOF #Juneau #FloodSafety
