Alaska State Troopers
As of 11:00 am, the Alaska State Troopers have changed the search and rescue strategy from an active search to a reactive search. Three people remain missing within the slide zone: one adult and two juveniles. After three separate active search efforts, including aerial searching with drones, helicopters, and planes; ground teams with K9 scent detection dogs and trained professionals; and water-based searching with K9 teams and sonar, search teams have reached all areas accessible without the use of heavy machinery. With the assistance of our partners at the Alaska Department of Transportations and Public Facilities, efforts have begun to methodically start clearing the roadway as well as looking for the three missing people who may be buried in the slide area. If new evidence or information suggests that any missing people may be in a specific area in the slide zone, the Alaska State Troopers may restart the active search focused on that new area. While the active search is concluding, it remains a priority of the State of Alaska and your Alaska State Troopers to locate the three missing Alaskans so that we can bring closure to their families and the community. Our deepest sympathies are with the families, friends, and loved ones of the three deceased and three missing Alaskans.
We appreciate all of the assistance that has made this search possible from our local, state, and federal government partners and the regional search and rescue teams that dropped everything to respond to Wrangell to help with this search.

Eat Your Words from Edible Alaska #61: Welcome Winter!
Hey Friends, we’re resending yesterday’s missive with a corrected link for Lily Hope, Weaver. Give her beautiful website a visit.
November 19, 2023
Hey there,
Food is not inherently celebratory, but it is fundamental to our shared humanity. The universal need to eat transcends any particular event, mood, race, political wind, season, bias, or even time of day. That’s why breaking bread together is one of the most basic and sacred communal acts possible. No wonder good memories so often include a meal. When we do celebrate, offering food is a natural impulse. Because sense memories often outmatch our ability to retain facts and figures, the smells or flavors or even the sounds of a dish being prepared can teleport us back to a cherished moment. Our winter issue—Celebrations—is out now! It’s in shops around the state and in our subscribers’ mailboxes. Grab a copy and dig in.
