FEMA’s Assistance Field Teams are visiting impacted communities to support individuals and families who were affected by the severe storms, flooding and remnants of Typhoon Halong that occurred Oct. 8-13.
Teams are registering people impacted by the disaster for FEMA Individual Assistance and answering questions.
“We are going into these impacted communities to make FEMA assistance available to those impacted families to help them continue with their recovery” said Willie Nunn, Federal Coordinating Officer.
Staff board a flight from Bethel to Chefornak to meet with impacted individuals and conduct home inspections.
When a team is in a village, following the registration, FEMA inspectors will meet with the applicant to verify damage(s) to their home and personal property. FEMA staff will always have appropriate federal identification and will never charge for assistance.
If those who have been impacted are unable to meet with the FEMA specialists working in the field, they can also register by calling the dedicated Alaska Call Center at (866) 342-1699, Monday-Sunday from 9 a.m.-6:30 p.m. or visiting disasterassistance.gov.
To find out when a FEMA team will be in your area, please follow FEMA Region 10 on X and FEMA’s Facebook for the latest updates.

SANTA FE, N.M. — The FEMA Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Claims Office in Santa Fe is relocating to the main Claims Office building on St. Michael’s Drive and Fifth Street to consolidate operations under one roof.
The public office, which is now located at 1711 Llano St., Suite E, will move to the northeast section of 1712 St. Michael’s Drive effective Nov. 17 starting at 7 a.m. The Santa Fe Claims Office will operate in the space that previously housed the former Kmart garden center on the east side of the building with a marked entrance and designated parking area. The public office will resume its services at this location on Nov. 17, 2025.
The Llano Street location will be closed after Nov. 13.
Moving the public office to the main Claims Office building is expected to reduce costs. The Claims Office will continue to offer the same assistance in processing claims for losses from the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire, subsequent flooding and other cascading impacts. Support includes helping claimants provide the necessary documentation and work through any questions that may arise.
“This move will create cost savings and greater efficiency, which we always strive for at the Claims Office,” said Jay Mitchell, Director of Operations for the New Mexico Joint Recovery Office. “For these reasons, it makes sense to consolidate Santa Fe operations under
