Typhoon Halong Oct 11th &12th, 2025~Rick Thoman~Evacuation of Coastal Communities~How to Help

Send us Fan MailOn October 11th and 12th, 2025, coastal villages of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta were hit by Typhoon Halong that devastated entire communities.  Weather forecasters saw the track of Typhoon Halong coming and yet most of those communities are located on low lying lands without roads to higher grounds.The aftermath of Typhoon Halong just prior to winter has required the evacuation of entire communities to Anchorage, Alaska with military planes, as the entire infrastructure and access to clean water were destroyed by this historic weather event. Climatologist, Rick Thoman, discusses the weather pattern that led up to Typhoon Halong, as well as how to help displaced families and pets. Resources to Help:Alaska Community Foundationhttps://alaskacf.org/World Central Kitchenhttps://wck.org/YK Delta Dog Rescuehttps://www.bethelfriendsofcanines.com/Thank you for listening to the Alaska Climate and Aviation Podcast.Katie [email protected]/863-7669Support the showYou can visit my website for links to other episodes and see aerial photography of South Central Alaska at:https://www.katiewritergallery.com
