Alaska Still Waiting for Recovery Funds After Typhoon Halong

New reporting confirms the federal government has denied Alaska’s request for full disaster reimbursement, leaving the state on the hook for millions of dollars. Hundreds of Alaskans remain in temporary housing, and communities are struggling to rebuild. Yet Senator Dan Sullivan came up empty-handed, failing to secure the resources Alaska desperately needs.

This follows his vote to defund local public radio stations and emergency alert systems — the very tools rural Alaskans rely on for life-saving storm warnings. When disaster struck, protections were weakened, and now funding is missing.
