Halong

Hundreds of the people displaced by ex-typhoon Halong were children in the middle of their school year. More than 100 of the evacuated students are now taking classes in Bethel.

Kelly Loeffler, head of the Small Business Administration, said the agency is modifying its rules to allow loans for damages to personal property at subsistence camps.

Many of the Western Alaskan residents displaced by Typhoon Halong also lost their subsistence harvests.

Storm-impacted communities on the Kuskokwim Delta coast and upriver will have additional opportunity to harvest moose, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

The state says it expects to move the roughly 300 people staying at the Alaska Airlines Center and Egan Center into hotel rooms by the end of the week.

The Kuskokwim Delta community evacuated dozens of residents and welcomed in dozens from nearby coastal villages hit hardest by the storm. As cold weather arrives, many still don't know if their homes will be livable again.

Jeron Joseph, an evacuee from Kwigillingok, shares an account of adjusting to displacement in Anchorage.

The Alaska Federation of Natives annual convention took place last weekend in Anchorage, as hundreds of evacuees from communities impacted by the remnants of Typhoon Halong arrived at emergency shelters nearby.

As evacuees from villages like Kipnuk, Kwigillingok, Nightmute and Tuntutuliak boarded military helicopters bound for safety, many had no choice but to leave their dogs behind.

Hundreds of people evacuated from Western Alaska after Typhoon Halong now face uncertain futures in Alaska’s largest city.
