Anchorage Faces Multiple Roof Collapses Amid Heavy Snowfall

Two more roofs collapsed in Anchorage over the weekend due to heavy snow, bringing the total to at least eight this season. No one was injured in either incident, and the buildings were unoccupied at the time. The collapses come after government officials warned over 1,000 commercial property owners about the risk of roof failure due to record-breaking snow loads. The collapses are primarily occurring in buildings with a specific type of flat roof constructed before 1990, and efforts are underway to clear snow from at-risk structures.
