What happened
A year after remnants of Typhoon Halong struck the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, communities continue to manage damage and prepare for future events. The storm previously interrupted daily life in dozens of communities, forcing over 1,500 people from their homes. In one community, a subsequent ice storm caused power outages, froze the well, and cut off local water supplies for around two months.
