Fact Sheet for Alaska
CDC’s Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response (PHPR) publishes an annual report to increase accountability regarding the nation’s investment in preparedness activities. This report, known as the National Snapshot, features national-level performance data as well as individual fact sheets for the 50 states, 4 cities, and 8 U.S. territories and freely associated states supported by the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement.
Alaska’s Sockeye Wildfire
In the summer of 2015, Alaska was affected by more than 300 statewide wildfires, burning more than five million acres, significantly larger than the 600,000 acres burned in a typical year. In response, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services used PHEP-funded emergency management processes to support emergency shelters with equipment and mental health services for residents.
