Anchorage, AK – Entire villages across Alaska have been destroyed by Typhoon Halong, leaving many homes uninhabitable and communities struggling to recover, according to the American Red Cross.
In Kipnuk, Red Cross teams reported walking through mud-covered boardwalks and damaged homes while meeting families who had lost everything. With winter approaching, officials say the situation is worsening as residents face widespread power outages, no running water, and food shortages.
According to the Red Cross, disaster teams are partnering with local organizations to help families prepare for the long winter. In Anchorage, teams are providing shelter, meals, and emotional care to evacuees, while in Bethel, workers are reconnecting loved ones separated by the storm.
“This will be a long road to recovery,” the Red Cross said in a statement, urging donations to assist those affected by the floods and winds that ravaged western Alaska.
Recovery efforts are ongoing as temperatures drop, heightening concerns for those without access to safe housing or essential supplies.
