Federal officials who toured former Typhoon Halong-devastated Western Alaska villages this weekend heard residents dispute official damage assessments, with one community advocate saying destruction in Kwigillingok was far worse than what the governor’s disaster declaration request reported.

Residents of this storm-damaged village are pushing back against federal plans for quick repairs, demanding instead that their entire community of 425 people be relocated to higher ground.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is urging evacuees impacted by former Typhoon Halong to submit a Change of Address request, in order to have their mail delivered. That includes evacuees currently living in an Anchorage shelter.
