Why it matters
The funding supports the slow process of rebuilding in a remote part of the state. This federal assistance is helping crews work to raise damaged buildings back onto their foundations.
Alaska's attorney general is involved in a legal case supporting industry, while FEMA is providing rental assistance to households.
