The coastal villages of Kipnuk and Kwigillingok were among the worst hit after the remnants of Typhoon Halong triggered extreme winds and storm surge.

The storm surge pummeled a sparsely populated region off the state's main road system where communities are reachable only by air or water this time of year.

The remnant of Typhoon Halong slammed the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, an area in Western Alaska hundreds of miles from the U.S. road system. More than a thousand people are displaced.

Anchorage leaders said Friday they expect as many as 1,600 people to be evacuated to the state's largest city.

Passengers at Alaska’s biggest airports may soon see a political advertisement published by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that blames Democrats for the ongoing federal government shutdown.

Hundreds have been evacuated in military helicopters and planes to Bethel and Anchorage. Now, state officials are assessing what it'll take to rebuild villages hit hard by the storm.

The Alaska Air and Army National Guard and the Coast Guard are among the agencies working to evacuate hundreds in the state’s remote coastal villages.

This adaptability, combined with our existing pipeline infrastructure and strategic geographic position — saving two weeks in transportation time — positions Alaska as a competitive player in the global energy market.

The Alaska National Guard airlifted 300 people after remnants of Typhoon Halong flooded remote villages, forcing 2,000 to evacuate.
