Hello Kwethluk,
City of Kwethluk Office is preparing for the 2025 flood season, expect it to be similar to last year, deep and difficult to walk around in. We will do our best to provide the population with as much information as possible on the water depth, safe evacuation route, and a center for immediate evacuation… what we will need from the community are information, not detailed information, just basic need to know-we need to know how many people there are in Kwethluk that would need CRITICAL CARE, IMMEDIATE EVACUATION. This would mean: ELDERLY WITH DEMENTIA, CARDIOVASCULAR CONDITIONS (HEART & LUNG PROBLEMS), WOMEN WITH INFANTS AND CHILDREN.
We will also need to know about volunteers with EMT 1 or Greater than, to provide for the immediate evacuation processing, and critical care at base (Kwethluk City Office Location), a Clinical Health Practitioner (CHP) on location would be the best. Secondly, we will need people/volunteers with available Skiffs (Angya-Boat) small enough for flood waters inside the Village of Kwethluk to transport all residents without means to the City of Kwethluk office for emergency evacuation or the Kwethluk Airport – Depending upon the severity of flood waters – including the transport of grocery supplies to residents, and evacuation/emergency shelter area (City of Kwethluk Office).
