    I met with Skagway Mayor Carlson this past August & I was impressed by her dedication to her community. As a Skagway native & mother, Mayor Carlson was a spirited, focused & devoted public servant. Anne & I are praying for the Carlson family & the city of Skagway.

    Thanks to , and Caucus Member , Alaska will continue to play an important role in America’s continued energy dominance.

    Here is some helpful information from FEMA about aftershocks.

    : Expect aftershocks. These secondary shockwaves are usually less violent than the main quake but can be strong enough to do additional damage to weakened structures and can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake.

    IF YOU ARE UNDER A TSUNAMI WARNING: First, protect yourself from an Earthquake. Drop, Cover, then Hold On. Get to high ground as far inland as possible. Be alert to signs of a tsunami, such as a sudden rise or draining of ocean waters.
