World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team was in Alaska, where Typhoon Halong left a devastating wake of flooding and destruction in remote coastal cities. Our teams served first responders and impacted families, many of whom have lost their homes, workplaces, and community centers.
The storm brought hurricane-force winds, storm surges, and floods that swept away homes.
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.
Our teams are flying across the flood-devastated regions of western Alaska to provide dry goods and warm meals to communities in need. WCK teams are working to find and care for as many of these areas as we can.
