1975 aerial views of Kwigillingok, which no longer looks like this after the devastation of Typhoon Halong. If you can, consider donating Alaska Community Fund, helping those impacted in Western Alaska (alaskacf.fcsuite.com...).

Pretty obvious.

If you are shipping donations on Lynden (and they are taking stuff in Fairbanks to truck to Anchorage) pack it in totes, and hey, throw in a few of those smaller Sterilite boxes too! Those are perfect for hygiene stuff and small belongings.
Let's help folks get some small semblance of organization!

If you are sending stuff pack it in totes, they will be appreciated!

One thing folks are going to need, strangely enough, will be storage totes.
Families are left, in too many cases, with nothing else except what they were able to carry to shelter.
As relief supplies come in they will need something to keep stuff in.

Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."
