Alaska's congressional delegates are asking for federal help as state residents continue to deal with the effects of the devastating storm that pummeled west coast communities over the weekend.
“Today is, again, as far as devastation that could have happened, that some had anticipated — there was water invasion, certainly some erosion, some airports had debris on them,” Dunleavy said.
As mentioned yesterday, I am requesting a Federal Disaster Declaration for the 2022 September storm currently impacting the west coast of Alaska. The damage assessment is now taking place with the State, local governments, regional entities, and FEMA.Peltola gave insight into some of the relief Alaskans might be getting.
In the meantime, several organizations are responding to help, including the American Red Cross of Alaska, which is working closely with the state to help assist people in need. Initially, the Red Cross says it will use Nome and Bethel as response hubs.
