More than a thousand people in Western Alaska are sleeping in their local school after a massive storm Sunday made their homes unlivable.
But some of the schools are no longer livable either.

WCK's John is on the ground in Anchorage, Alaska, after Typhoon Halong devastated coastal communities over the weekend. He's en route to Bethel, a town hit hard by the typhoon, to support the community. #ChefsForAlaska

World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is in Alaska, where Typhoon Halong left a devastating wake of flooding and destruction in remote coastal cities. The storm brought hurricane-force winds, storm surges, and floods that swept away homes. Our teams will be serving first responders and impacted families, many of whom have lost their homes, workplaces, and community centers.
This is a quickly evolving situation—we’ll share more information as soon as we have it. #ChefsForAlaska

Whether through prayer, fundraisers from local businesses, or greeting Bering Air flights as service resumed this weekend, I want to thank the Alaskans who are lifting up Nome, Unalakleet, and the Bering Air family. It’s been a hard weekend for all of us, but seeing the state come together truly highlights the best of Alaska.

A boomer white woman coworker realized how I lean politically today and she cried. She thought she was alone. I let her know that she's in good company and invited her to join me at the event for @RobynBurkeHD40 in town this week.

The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree is a symbol of unity and celebration, and this year, the tree is coming from Wrangell, Alaska! I’m calling on all Alaskans to play a role in the festivities by creating ornaments that showcase our state’s unique beauty and culture. Let’s get creative, Alaska!
