You may have read about Kipnuk, an Alaska village devastated by a typhoon months after EPA nixed $$ for climate resilience projects.
Huslia, in interior Alaska, similarly lost a $20 million EPA grant to help protect itself.
"We don’t want the history of our village to keep getting flushed away."

E&E News: This Alaska village had a $20M life preserver. EPA yanked it away.
Federal cash would have built water infrastructure in Huslia and moved its homes away from a rapidly eroding riverbank.
