What we know
Developing
Disputed
Credible evidence conflicts. The Truism shows both positions and does not decide between them where evidence cannot.
What we don't know
Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.
- Whether downstream communities can be evacuated in time if a breach occurs
- The exact volume of water held back by the unstable barrier
- Whether additional downstream barrier lakes pose a threat of further flooding
- The exact number of people who remain missing as rescue operations continue
