Alaska: Hundreds Forced to Flee Floods From Typhoon Halong

On the 10th and 11th of October, last week, as this is written, the remnants of the Pacific Typhoon Halong slammed into western Alaska. Hardest hit was the Kuskokwim River delta, where people are still being evacuated. Over a thousand people have fled the flooding brought by the storm.

Dozens of people have been rescued and hundreds more have been relocated to shelters in other towns, but some still remain unaccounted for. At least one death has been reported.

State officials said Tuesday that 1,800 Alaskans from 49 separate communities were forced to leave their homes and find safety in 12 shelters due to the impacts of the former Typhoon Halong.

Some have been evacuated by air, others by boat.

Governor Dunleavy and Alaska's Congressional delegation have requested a federal disaster declaration, which would provide additional support for the evacuation and resettlement of those affected by the floods. At least two villages, Kipnuk and Kwigillingok, had to be completely evacuated. The governor visited Bethel on Friday, to see the evacuation efforts for himself.

Vice President Vance, on his official X account, stated that he and President Trump are monitoring the evacuation efforts:

President Trump & I are closely tracking the storm devastation that resulted in over 1,000 citizens being airlifted out of Alaska villages.⁰Alaskans, our prayers are with you and your federal government is working closely with @SenDanSullivan and @GovDunleavy to get you the help…

Shelters for the displaced people have been set up in Anchorage, which was not affected by the storm. The Kenai Peninsula Borough has also offered shelter space. The Alaska Air National Guard has already evacuated hundreds of Alaskans who have lost their homes in the flooding.

Nearly 600 people arrived in Anchorage over the course of two days as part of a massive airlift taken on by the Alaska Air National Guard.

On Thursday, two planes landed in Anchorage carrying 210 and 114 people, respectively, as well as eight pallets of luggage on the last plane. The effort has been called the largest airlift in Alaska’s history by state officials.

Evacuees were originally sent to Bethel, but due to the number of people needing shelter, disaster relief agencies began looking to Anchorage for additional shelter.
