Key FactsAlaska Flood Devastates Village After EPA Grant Cut

- The Trump administration revoked a $20 million EPA grant in May that aimed to stabilize Kipnuk’s riverbank against erosion and flooding.
- On October 12, severe flooding damaged many homes and resulted in one death and two missing persons in nearby Kwigillingok.
- Kipnuk’s location on thawing permafrost heightens vulnerability to infrastructure collapse due to climate-driven erosion and storms.
- The community’s low income and lack of taxing power leave it dependent on federal funds as extreme weather events grow more frequent.
This administration prioritizes lowering costs — but minimizing the impacts of a disaster like this before it occurs is far cheaper than rebuilding afterward, to say nothing of the toll these events take on people’s lives.— Senator Lisa Murkowski, emphasizing the need for funding for underserved communities in Alaska.
