While lawmakers scrambled, approving $75M for immediate response and $35M in reserves, they’re bracing for more costs and pushing for federal flexibility. With erosion and contamination threatening homes, the real battle is about rebuilding faster and smarter—so Alaska’s communities can survive, not just survive.
