On the evening of May 5th, Rob Kinkade of Aniak Air Guides provide the first aerial view of the flood impact at Crow Village. The photographs show a high level of water in the village reaching the floor structure of the main building and steamhouse, inundating the out building, moving the small building, and some structural damage to the smoke house. It will likely be a week before an on site inspection can confirm extent of damage. Thankfully the decision was made to vacate prior to breakup. There are initial indications that remittance from state agencies will be forthcoming, however, we will be looking for volunteers to assist with the certain manual effort involved in remediation activities this summer. Look for an announcement on that in this blog on a later date.
