The statement stressed the importance of considering any individuals who might be missing presently. However, it also highlighted the risks associated with the current weather conditions and urged against forming independent search parties. Families are advised to reach out for assistance at Norton Sound Health Corporation.

Norton Sound Health Corporation has said it is “ready to respond to a community medical emergency,” but did not give any other details.

This disappearance of the plane follows a series of recent tragic aviation accidents in the United States.
