14 Deceased

Fourteen people died in a glacial collapse that triggered lake overflow in the Kachadee region. A USGS hydroclimatologist reports their deaths to Leo McGarry during a briefing on evacuation challenges—250 residents saved, but many shoreline homes erased, winds blocking helicopters. Canada sends Pavehawks for aid. Experts link the fatalities to seven-degree regional warming, pressuring the White House to address these as early climate deaths amid logistical and political strains.
