Today, AK Gov. Dunleavy declared a state of emergency due to lack of federal SNAP funding. $5 million weekly will be paid directly to SNAP beneficiaries. Up to $10 million will be donated to food pantries to ensure Alaskans do not go hungry. Thank you, Gov Dunleavy.

For those who wondered about the “Juneau flood” in August…. This drone footage gives you a sense of the potential impact & the temporary barriers
A handful of DOT drone pilots filmed Juneau’s temporary levee consistently during the major flood stage of the event, including overnight footage using infrared cameras. The agency livestreamed that footage to keep emergency managers informed as floodwaters rose, crested and receded.
