DU hockey falls in the series opener against Alaska Anchorage as the Seawolves win it in overtime. Back-to-back losses for the Pios in which they dramatically out-shot their opponent.

A big question now is: why isn't FEMA in western Alaska?
Because they have not been deployed.
Gov. Dunleavy has requested a federal disaster declaration, and Alaska is waiting to hear back.
In the meantime, it's all local, tribal and state led relief efforts.

The city of Kotzebue is under mandatory evacuation orders. That's as the community prepares for flooding the National Weather Service warns could be worse than last year's, which led to dozens of evacuations and two families losing their homes.

Important context for out-of-state folks: all of these communities are off the road system. Think about all the struggles communities face to evac in more typical situations when you can drive some place safe, and then imagine there's no road and no flights. That's what we're talking about here.

Here are four graphics that show how much the PFD's purchasing power has changed over the years. UAA economist Brett Watson says they tell us "as much about how we think about inflation or the things that we buy as it does about the dividend itself."
