State emergency management officials are working to make relief funding more accessible for communities impacted by spring ice jam flooding in May, with three local events next week.
State emergency management officials are working to make relief funding more accessible for communities impacted by spring ice jam flooding last month.
So far, more than 200 people have applied and the program is processing almost $200,000 in relief payments, said Jeremy Zidek, spokesperson for the state Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Many communities along the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers, in Northwest Alaska and around Glenallen are eligible to apply for relief.
Boris Epchook, IRA council president in the Kuskokwim community of Kwethluk, said he expects people there still need to register for relief funds.
