2 years post-landslides and Haines is still not fully whole again
One of the main challenges that Haines has had to endure after devastating landslides affected their community in December of 2020 is that fact that they are small town of 2500 residents living in rural Alaska who suffered a major infrastructure problem. Broken homes, driveways and thousands of pounds of damaged drywall and debris that needed repair and removal was overwhelming for a small town with limited people and funds. This is a terrific article about where they are at now on their road to recovery and what still needs to be accomplished by the Insurance Journal this week: Alaska City Haines Continues Long Recovery from Late 2020 Landslides
