Senator Lisa Murkowski, who represents Alaska in the U.S. Senate, recently used her social media platform to address the impact of storms and flooding in Western Alaska and to highlight both the resilience of Alaskans and ongoing federal response efforts.
On October 16, 2025, Murkowski posted about the recent natural disasters affecting the region: "Storms and flooding have been devastating to Western Alaska. But one thing I know about the people in this region, and in all of Alaska, is their resilience and determination are unrivaled. They are deeply connected to their lands. They are committed to maintaining their cultural".
The following day, October 17, 2025, she reported on actions taken by Alaska’s congressional delegation: "Today, Alaska’s congressional delegation urged the President to swiftly approve Governor Dunleavy’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration following the severe storm and coastal flooding in Western Alaska. We stand ready to support the coordinated response and recovery efforts https://t.co/uOWLEJ2ony".
On October 18, 2025, Murkowski announced her participation at a major community event: "I’m honored to be able to address the Alaska Federation of Natives at their 2025 annual convention. Please tune in to hear my remarks live at 1:30 p.m.
Alaska has faced significant challenges from extreme weather events in recent years. Federal disaster declarations are critical for unlocking resources that assist local governments and communities with emergency relief and long-term recovery. The state’s congressional delegation plays an important role in advocating for these federal responses.
The Alaska Federation of Natives is one of the largest statewide Native organizations representing over 140,000 Native peoples across Alaska. Its annual convention serves as a central forum for discussing issues facing Indigenous communities.
