WCK on the ground today in Alaska after typhoon flooding
World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is in Alaska, where Typhoon Halong left a devastating wake of flooding and destruction in remote coastal cities. The storm brought hurricane-force winds, storm surges, and floods that swept away homes. Our teams will be serving first responders and impacted families, many of whom have lost their homes, workplaces, and community centers.
This is the second time WCK has responded to typhoon flooding in Alaska. In 2022, the remnants of Typhoon Merbok pounded Alaska’s western coast, affecting 21,000 people during the peak of hunting and gathering season. Together with local groups, WCK delivered fresh food and water to families in need.
We are also currently responding to three other devastating flooding-related emergencies in addition to our work responding to crises around the world. As the climate crisis continues to cause more extreme weather, WCK teams are committed to serving communities in need.
This remains a quickly evolving situation. You can sign up to our newsletter to receive more information and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook for real-time updates.
