On December 22, the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHS&EM) announced that Mat-Su residents can apply for the State’s Individual Assistance program to help with damages from the December Mat-Su Windstorm.
The Mat-Su Valley experienced powerful winds that caused extensive damage to power lines. Due to power outages, pipes froze in many homes. Debris carried by the high winds caused damage to vehicles, homes, and public buildings. Severe damages prompted Governor Dunleavy to declare the situation a disaster.
Mat-Su residents who sustained substantial damages to their homes, vehicles, and essential property due to the disastrous windstorm may apply for financial assistance here. Applications will be accepted until Feb 20.
