Ready for what Alaska actually throws at you.

Alaska is the largest state in the country — 663,000 square miles — and its hazard profile matches its scale. The 1964 Good Friday Earthquake (M9.2) is the most powerful recorded in North American history; it killed 131 people and generated tsunamis that reached California. Alaska has more volcanoes than all other US states combined — about 130 of the world's historically active volcanoes are in the Aleutian chain. The 2018 M7.1 Anchorage earthquake caused $75M in damage without a tsunami. Hundreds of rural Alaska communities are accessible only by air or boat — there is no road, no driving to safety, no quick supply chain. Permafrost thaw is actively destroying infrastructure across the state. And Alaska's UI maximum of $370/week is the lowest in the country despite having one of the highest costs of living — emergency savings and community networks are not optional here.
