Alaska Floods: Military Evacuation Efforts
Roughly 90 members of Alaska Army and Air National Guard and Coast Guard units have scrambled to remote towns where homes have floated away due to massive flooding caused by Typhoon Halong.
The Alaska Air National Guard C-17 evacuated over 300 civilians from the remote western coast of Alaska to emergency shelters in Anchorage.
- Many onboard had been rescued in recent days by Alaska Army and Air Guard teams, Coast Guard and state rescue workers.
- Military and state rescue forces had rescued at least 51 people in those remote villages over the weekend, officials said.
The crew flew the evacuation from Bethel, the only town along the impacted coast with a runway large enough to handle heavy cargo jets.
