Alaska Communities Win FEMA Disaster Prep Cash | Anchorage News

Four Alaskan communities are set to receive nearly $7 million in FEMA disaster prep funds—Juneau, St. Paul, Matanuska-Susitna Borough, and Chilkat Indian Village—to tackle floods, erosion, and earthquakes. Chilkat, near Haines, could get $1.2 million to rebuild a landslide protection wall that’s aging and no longer effective, with a 10% local match required. Juneau gets over $3 million for glacial lake flood risks, Mat-Su Borough $2 million for roads and barriers, and St. Paul $375K for coastal threats. Applications close July 22—time to act before nature strikes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
