Those people have been evac'd and are currently housed in the Alaska Airlines Center (an arena). They've basically lost everything they aren't carrying with them. More planeloads are coming. I don't know where they will be sheltered.

"Before they boarded the Alaska Army National Guard CH-47 helicopter to return to Bethel, they collected two dogs to deliver to a rescue organization and two Christmas cactuses Murkowski said she hoped would reach their owner.

The trip revealed a grim picture for Kipnuk’s people, she said.

“It’s hard to see homes that people lived in less than a week ago, homes with plants and puppies. People who have lived there for generations,” she said. “And to now realize that there is no home to return to, that is a really hard reality.”"

Yes. Some have never been out of the village. Most have been to Bethel with is a regional hub of 6k people, but Anchorage with almost 300k people is a huge shock to them.

It’s going to be so hard for them. II hope there is a way to keep them together.
was the flooding related to changes in the permafrost?
