State Assessment 8.2 Earthquake Damage on the Alaska Peninsula

Juneau, Alaska (KINY) – An interagency assessment team consisting of town and state officials was deployed to the area Monday by the Department of State’s Division of Emergency Management for Military and Veterans Affairs in the wake of last week’s 8.2 earthquake.

While the damage assessment team visited Perryville, Chinic Lagoon and Chinic Bay to assess the earthquake’s effects, they also met with local officials. Communities were relieved that there were no casualties and minimal damage from the earthquake.

The damage the team noticed was a few cracks in the drywall, some small cracks in the floor, and a slight shift in the homes. No damage to water, power generation or distribution has been identified.

The tsunami warning system, evacuation protocols, and evacuation shelters are discussed. The state’s Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management said they will work closely with Lake and Peninsula Borough and local leaders to address areas for improvement in the event of future disasters.

The division’s director, Brian Fisher, thanked local and tribal leaders in the area for their calm and effective response to the earthquake and tsunami warning.

“We all feel lucky that the earthquake was deep and far enough away that there was no significant damage,” he said.
