[1/2] An aerial view of mud and forest debris that buried a stretch of the Zimovia Highway a day after a landslide struck an area of Wrangell, Alaska, U.S., November 21, 2023. The heavily wooded mountainside gave way on Monday night above the Zimovia Highway following a storm that lashed the region with heavy rain and high winds. The agency identified the three confirmed fatalities as Timothy Heller, 44; his wife, Beth Heller, 36; and their 16-year-old daughter, Mara. The third missing person was identified as 65-year-old Otto Florschutz, whose wife, Christina, 63, was found alive but injured on Tuesday morning. No one was home in the third house destroyed by the landslide, officials said.

Nov 21 (Reuters) - At least one person has been killed and multiple others were believed to be missing in a major landslide along the principal roadway serving an island community in Southeast Alaska, state officials said on Tuesday. "Multiple individuals are believed to have been within the slide area when the landslide occurred and are believed to be missing," the statement said. Alaska state police assumed command of the search-and-rescue effort, but ground-level search operations were suspended while geologists assessed the risk of additional landslide activity in the area, the public safety agency said. Wrangell is linked to the mainland and other towns in Southeast Alaska by ferry and airplane. Its principal road is the Zimovia Highway, which runs along the west side of the island for 14 miles.
