ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The state of Alaska and FEMA are advising survivors of the Alaska West Coast Storms to remain vigilant against fraud and scams. Scam artists may pose as government officials, aid workers or insurance employees to exploit survivors at any stage in their recovery process.
Key Tips to Avoid Scams:
Verify FEMA Inspectors: Always request to see official FEMA identification. All FEMA employees carry a photo ID badge. A FEMA shirt or jacket is not proof of identity. Beware of Fake Aid Offers: FEMA and local disaster workers do not charge for assistance, inspections, or application help. Never trust anyone asking for money in exchange for disaster aid or promising grants in return for large deposits. Don’t give banking information to a person claiming to be a FEMA inspector.
Survivors are encouraged to report any suspicious activity or potential fraud from scam artists, identity thieves and others posing as disaster relief workers.
If you receive suspicious emails or phone calls, you can call the main FEMA Helpline at 1-800-621-3362 or the FEMA Alaska Call Center at 1-866-342-1699 to verify if a FEMA contact is legitimate.
To report disaster fraud, contact law enforcement, email [email protected] or call the National Center for Disaster Fraud at 1-866-720-5721.
Stay informed and protect yourself during the recovery process.

Researchers have discovered a new way to grow graphene that deliberately adds structural defects to enhance its usefulness in electronics, sensors, catalysts, and more. Using a specially shaped molecule called azupyrene, scientists can produce graphene films rich in beneficial 5–7 ring defects—imperfections that make the material more interactive, more magnetic, and more electronically versatile.
