Over 118 days later, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced that President Joe Biden has approved the federal disaster declaration for Wrangell, following the Nov. 20, 2023 landslides and mudslides.

The declaration action makes federal funding available to affected individuals and groups in the Wrangell Cooperative Association. Assistance may include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster. 

Curiously, FEMA sent a Spanish version of the press release about the disaster declaration. The English version was posted on the agency’s website, however.

Federal funding is also available to the Wrangell Cooperative Association and some nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency protective measures and hazard mitigation the agency said.

Brian F. Schiller has been named the federal coordinating officer for federal recovery operations in the affected areas. Additional designations may be made at a later date if warranted by the results of damage assessments, the agency said.

  1. Scariest words in English.

    “We’re from the government, we’re here to help”.

    Does Grandpa Bloodstains wants to start importing illegals to Wrangell? That why he’s gotten around to giving a damn?

    If only BLM had a grievance with Wrangell, or they had an alphabet gang commune. Grandpa Bloodstains would fall all over himself getting money there.

  2. Consider that fortunate, everyone that got shot by DEW got 700$ or nothing at all. (Ca, Tx) The mystery super fires are getting a bit obvious in my opinion .

  3. That’s DEI at work.
    When you hire people because of what they are, not because of what they do, you get this.

  4. Idiots.
    They’re supposed to send Spanish messages to Valdez & Cordova!
    Everybody knows that, except the Feds.

    • Jorge, It’s not just Valdisease or Cordover where the Spainish speaking populace lives, much closer to Wrangell folks live on Revillagigedo Island which is real close to Boca de Quadra. I can see where mistakes could be made. Thankfully Biden hasn’t looked at a map of Alaska very closely since we are chock full of Russkie names too!

      Oh wait, maybe he has! That would explain his “sanctions” upon Alaskan industry, Damn!

  5. Some dumbed down dimwit, produced by the indoctrination centers once known as American public schools, got their map turned upside down and mistook Alaska for Mexico.
