~ As the community continues to recover from the devastating flooding that occurred on August 6, many are facing significant loss and uncertainty. With exhaustion and strain mounting, it may seem like the end is far from sight. In these difficult times, it is crucial to prioritize mental well-being alongside physical needs.
According to officials, taking a break from cleaning or repair work and checking in with friends and loved ones can help alleviate some of the stress. Seeking counseling or other forms of support may also be beneficial for those struggling to cope with the aftermath of the disaster.
For immediate help, individuals can reach out to the Disaster Distress Helpline which provides 24/7 support for those in distress following a disaster. Trained crisis counselors are available to listen without judgment and offer assistance. To connect with a counselor, individuals can call or text 1-800-985-5990.
In an effort to bring some positivity during this difficult time, Comfort K9s will be visiting the community soon. Residents are encouraged to check back tomorrow for more information on how they can interact with these furry companions.
For comprehensive and up-to-date flood recovery resources and information, residents can visit juneau.org/manager/flood-response. Any questions can be directed via email.

In addition, transportation services will be provided for those who are unable to travel on their own due to damaged vehicles or mobility challenges. Residents can call (907) 632-2165 to request transportation to State Disaster Assistance Centers.
These centers will be open from Wednesday, August 14 through Friday, August 16 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at two locations: Mendenhall Valley Library and Generations Southeast Community Learning Center. Here, residents can receive assistance in applying for State of Alaska disaster aid.
The Alaska National Guard and Capital Transit have been commended for their efforts in providing this service.
As repairs continue and some residents realize they will not be able to return to their homes as quickly as anticipated, the need for emergency shelter and temporary housing has arisen. Those in need of shelter can email or visit a Disaster Assistance Center to be connected with resources.
Volunteers are still needed to aid in the recovery efforts. The Melvin Park volunteer center will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. this week, Wednesday through Friday. The most urgent tasks involve mucking and drying out crawlspaces, so volunteers who are willing to get dirty and work in tight spaces are especially needed.
The community is grateful for all the support and assistance provided by volunteers, the Alaska National Guard, and Capital Transit during this challenging time. Together, we will overcome this disaster and rebuild our community stronger than ever before.
