Harrison Lagoon Cabin is located roughly 10 miles from the potential Barry Arm Landslide. At this time, there is no indication that a landslide is imminent. However, landslides can happen at any time, and it is suggested that those who recreate in Prince William Sound remain vigilant, have several ways to receive emergency information, and be ready to move to high ground with little to no warning. Should this landslide fall into the water, it has the potential to generate a tsunami that could have devastating effects including demolishing the cabin. For more information please visit the [Barry Arm Landslide and Tsunami Hazard][1] website from the State of Alaska. [1]: https://dggs.alaska.gov/hazards/barry-arm-landslide.html
