The sun came out today just in time to welcome Panhandlers Motorcycle Club Alaska to campus to drop off bags of new stuffed toys donated to the hospital to distribute to pediatric patients. Thank you to all those in town who purchased new stuffed toys for donation and those who made monetary contributions to Panhandlers for the purchase of additional toys. A special thank you to the Triangle Club Bar, Louie's Douglas Inn, and FREYA for serving as collection locations and to Panhandlers Motorcycle Club Alaska for spearheading this volunteer effort.

As we enter Juneau’s glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) season, it’s especially important that residents stay informed. Signing up for CBJ’s Emergency Alert notifications is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

We also wanted to share some specifics about some of the important emergency notifications those in Juneau can expect to receive...

2025 Flood Alerts....Think READY, SET, GO!

READY... (We are here.) The best way to stay informed with the latest flood preparedness tips, news and updates is by signing up for CBJ Emergency Alerts at bit.ly/CBJAlerts.

SET... Once the US National Weather Service Juneau Alaska determines the Basin is full, CBJ and our partners will issue evacuation advisories via SMS text (push notification, no opt-in required). Alerts with evacuation instructions will also go out via email, social media, website and printed door hangars in the forecasted flood area. A flood information hotline will be available.

Historically, there has been 1-6 days between when the Basin reaches full capacity and its release. However, it is possible for the Basin to release BEFORE it reaches full capacity.

GO... once the Basin begins to release, a FLOOD WARNING will be issued by the National Weather Service. CBJ, Tlingit & Haida, Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities and partner agencies will push out evacuation advisories through all available channels.

If the Basin releases before it reaches full capacity, we will skip the "SET" phase so this may would be the first emergency alert you receive.

First responders will also provide in-person evacuation notice in neighborhoods in the potential flood inundation area.

ALL CLEAR... After the water recedes and the area is deemed safe to return, CBJ and our partners will issue an “All Clear” notification via SMS text, email and social media.

Availability of response and recovery services will be shared via CBJ & partner agency social media and website(s).

Stay connected and safe. To learn more, visit bit.ly/JuneauFloodReady.

Thank you, Kate Troll, for your heartfelt Voices column in the Juneau Independent highlighting the skilled services of Capital City Fire Rescue paramedics and our Emergency Department clinicians. Your kind words made our day! It sure does take a team, and we're grateful for our community partners. We hope your ankle is healing well.

As many readers may know, I recently fell, broke my ankle and had to get helicopter out of Granite Basin. Because of the location it made for a very tricky landing or more accurately a hovering with one skid on the ground. After dropping off the paramedics the helicopter flew back up on the ridge in...

A big thank you to our community partners and volunteers for making this drill a success. Hospital staff appreciated the opportunity to participate in the drill and practice standing up Incident Command, responding to a patient surge, and trying out the new triage tent. Thanks to all who participated!

Scripted scenario of plane carrying 100 passengers crashing throws plenty of twists at rescuers.

The Operating Room hallways were lined with staff this morning as we celebrated Dr. David Miller's final surgical case following 25 years of dedicated service to our community (and over 7,300 surgeries). Dr. Miller has been an integral part of our surgical services team, and our staff were on hand to congratulate him on his upcoming retirement following his final surgery and send him off with gratitude and celebration (and cake!). On behalf of all of us at Bartlett, thank you Dr. Miller for your care and service to our community.
