Predictions for deadly Alaska storm may have suffered due to DOGE cuts

More than 1,400 people were displaced by record flooding and hurricane-force winds in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, with ongoing rescue and recovery efforts across multiple villages.

  • One person is dead and two are missing after the remnants of Typhoon Halong flooded Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta villages including Kwigillingok and Kipnuk, displacing more than 1,000 people.
  • The National Weather Service reported hurricane-force winds topping 107 mph in Kusilvak, Alaska, while forecasters said missing weather balloon data complicated predictions for Former Typhoon Halong.
  • Thirty-Seven homes in Kwigillingok were lost, and U.S. Coast Guard crews, Alaska Army National Guard, and Alaska Air National Guard rescued more than 50 people and two dogs.
  • On Monday, officials said the Kipnuk Airport runway was cracked, power and water systems failed, and Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta communities need immediate state and federal aid.
  • Erosion and melting permafrost have long threatened the region, prompting officials to urge investment in erosion mitigation and infrastructure as this may be the largest off-the-road National Guard response in about 45 years.
