  2. Recommended Building Height Alaska’s Uniqueness School Generator Red Devil

  3. A Myriad of Complexities in Alaska • We have a great number of natural hazards • Typical: Flood, Erosion, Wildfire, Earthquake, and Landslide, High Winds (Hurricane class), Blizzards, Tsunamis, Avalanches, Storms, Sea Storm Surges, Extended Extreme Cold Weather, Riverine Ice Break-up and others . . . .

  4. Sea Storm Issues

  5. Current Sea Storm Disaster Damages

  6. Austere and Unique Weather and Living Conditions • Successive Erosion Protection Attempts

  7. 122 Coastal Sea Storm Threatened Communities

  8.
