You may have read about Kipnuk, an Alaska village devastated by a typhoon months after EPA nixed $$ for climate resilience projects.
Huslia, in interior Alaska, similarly lost a $20 million EPA grant to help protect itself.
"We don’t want the history of our village to keep getting flushed away."

E&E News: This Alaska village had a $20M life preserver. EPA yanked it away.
Federal cash would have built water infrastructure in Huslia and moved its homes away from a rapidly eroding riverbank.

Looks like Interior had been planning to lay off staffers "imminently" but it's plans were at least partially thwarted by court proceedings earlier this week
It says some layoffs "might" still happen during the shutdown
