Thank you to our listeners who shared their thoughts with phone calls and emails.
We had calls from Ken in Elim, who shared his concerns about weather emergencies in communities already susceptible to erosion; Mina in Nome, who shared her concerns about banking service during an emergency, and emphasized the importance of keeping non-perishable food on hand.
We also heard from Larry in Emmonak, who called with questions about state and federal emergency services and disaster insurance; Ted in Stebbins, who expressed concern about weather impacts on his reindeer herd; and Bee in Nome, who reiterated a need for individual preparedness.
And a special thanks to our studio guests, Tom Vaden and Jim West, Jr. for answering your questions on the air!
