Emergencies that shaped recovery needs near Ketchikan Gateway Borough

The most recent is Landslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4846), declared November 13, 2024, with the incident beginning August 25, 2024. Slides close roads for deliveries and damage utilities, and food service has to adapt around the closure.
