Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Kenai Peninsula Borough

OpenFEMA lists 18 disaster declarations that include Kenai Peninsula Borough, going back to 1986. The most frequent incident types were severe storms (7 declarations) and wildfire (3 declarations). Kenai has its own page with its county's federal declarations, which helps when a project spans both.

The most recent is Landslide (major disaster declaration, DR-4661), declared July 26, 2022, with the incident beginning May 7, 2022. Slides close roads for deliveries and damage utilities, and food service has to adapt around the closure. By incident type, the count is severe storms 7, wildfire 3, flooding 3, earthquake 2 and mudslides and landslides 1. By decade: 1980s 2, 1990s 1, 2000s 6, 2010s 7 and 2020s 2. The records also list Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4638, January 15, 2022), Earthquake (DR-4413, January 31, 2019), Earthquake (EM-3410, November 30, 2018), Severe Storm (DR-4369, June 8, 2018) and Card Street Fire (FM-5085, June 16, 2015).

NIFC lists no wildfire of 1,000 acres or more starting in Kenai Peninsula Borough since 2016. Smoke and power shutoffs travel farther than fires do, though: the nearest large fire on record began in Matanuska-Susitna Borough, about 161 miles away, where the Nelchina Glacier fire burned 3,920 acres in 2025.

Declarations are federal designations for an area, not a record of damage at a particular site.

Construction projects and crew meals near Kenai Peninsula Borough

Since October 2021, 32 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named Kenai Peninsula Borough as the place of work. Another public record is “Kenai Bluffs Bank Stabilization,” a $23 million Department of Defense contract from February 2024 in Kenai Peninsula Borough (award record). In September 2022, the Department of the Interior awarded a $4.2 million contract for “Ak-Kenai NWR Jims Landing Improvements” in Kenai Peninsula Borough, with work running to October 2023 (award record). USASpending.gov shows a $3.7 million Department of Defense contract, “Homer and Ninilchik Dredging,” starting January 2023 in Kenai Peninsula Borough (award record). The Department of the Interior committed $2.8 million to “US FWS R7 Construct Salamatof Boardwalk” in Kenai Peninsula Borough, awarded July 2019 (award record). A contract of that size means a crew that eats on site: hot food for many people on odd shifts, with water and wastewater to plan for the kitchen. A project in Homer, about 6,136 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

Rebuilds and remodels around Kenai Peninsula Borough

No federal contract for repairing or modernizing a building is on record for Kenai Peninsula Borough. The nearest is in Kodiak Island Borough, about 192 miles away.

Building repair and modernization work often closes a kitchen for part of the project, which is when a temporary kitchen on a lease keeps meals going. The closure date drives the plan in Soldotna too.
