Alaska
U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska
Earlier this week, I visited communities in Nome, Golovin and Unalakleet to survey the harm brought on by Hurricane Merbok and the continuing restoration. Whereas individuals are nonetheless actually hurting on the market, notably attributable to property harm, there’s additionally a silver lining to what’s going on in Western Alaska proper now. There are unbelievable teams of Alaskans, even teams past Alaska, coming collectively to assist these communities. From FEMA to state officers, to church teams, to Workforce Rubicon, to Samaritan’s Purse, and all the opposite veterans – younger and outdated – so many individuals are working twelve hours a day to get these communities again on their ft earlier than the winter comes. The ability of unity is on full show in Western Alaska and it’s robust.
