Anchorage Office of Emergency Management makes community damage assessment tool available for those impacted by the hurricane-force winds on January 12, 2025

​

The Office of Emergency Management, in support of the Administration, is facilitating a damage assessment related to the recent severe winter storm. This assessment will come in two parts:

• An internal department survey to assess impact to municipal operations and facilities
  
• An external individual and business survey to assess impact experienced by the public

"Data collected from damage assessments will help determine what, if any, additional support Anchorage may request from partners, state, or federal resources. This data will also help our community understand broader impacts of the storm so we can prepare better for future incidents," said Office of Emergency Management Director, Amanda Loach.

The public may access the survey from a link on the municipal home page at www.muni.org that directs to https://bit.ly/EOCJanStormDamage. The survey is open to any residents or business owners within the Municipality of Anchorage and is available through January 31.

This tool is for assessment purposes only.

Residents seeking immediate assistance with food, shelter, or connection to other resources are encouraged to call Alaska 2-1-1 Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 5 PM or contact local agencies directly.
