Lt. Governor Valerie Nurr'araaluk Davidson

President Trump declared a disaster in Alaska and ordered Federal assistance to emergency response efforts due to the #AlaskaEarthquake.

My sincerest thanks to @AKNationalGuard for their service to Alaskans today, and in all emergency situations we face. Alaska is safer because of you. #AlaskaEarthquake #saferalaska #strongeralaska

Governor Walker and @LtGovDavidson thanked @AKNationalGuard troops at the Joint Operation Center this evening for their service to our state in this time of need. Their help is critical to having a smooth #AlaskaEarthquake response.

A reminder that Governor Walker will hold a press conference at 3pm updating Alaskans about the damage suffered from this morning's #AlaskaEarthquake. The press conference can be watched live at bit.ly/2SomR88 #akgov #alaska

Governor Walker just received confirmation from the White House that the Governor's declaration of disaster was approved by @FEMA #AlaskaEarthquake

.⁦@AkGovBillWalker⁩ on the phone with @realDonaldTrump⁩, who called from Argentina to see how Alaska is doing after the earthquake

So far we've located about 40 aftershocks in the first 3 hours, ten with magnitudes greater than 4 and three with magnitudes greater than 5. A magnitude six is possible but not very likely. The chances of an earthquake as large or larger than M7 is small (~4%).

The #AlaskaEarthquake live stream press conference has been rescheduled to 3pm. Watch at bit.ly/2DVhut9

There will be a media advisory live-streamed on our Facebook page beginning at 2pm w Gov. Walker, Lt Gov Davidson & Major General Hummel to provide an update in the aftermath of the #AlaskaEarthquake. Watch at bit.ly/2BJlvPz

Due to the earthquake, state offices will be closed in Anchorage on 11/30/2018 for the remainder of the business day as damages are assessed.

The Municipality is requesting that people only call 911 for significant emergencies. We are completing damage assessments at this time and will have more information out via the media soon.

Employees and students near campus who need shelter, can go to Gorsuch Commons in the student housing complex. We will continue to provide updates.

Our outage map is working again, so you can track outages on our website. Crews will continue to assess and inspect, and restore power as they can. Our focus is on safety. Outage map is here: chugachelectric.com/outages

If you have a loved one in the Anchorage Pioneer Home or the Alaska Veterans and Pioneers Home in Palmer, rest assured. We have heard everyone is safe. There is some building damage, but minimal.

AWWU is responding to multiple water main breaks following today’s major earthquake. There is no reason to believe the water is not currently safe, but err on the side of caution. Please be proactive and boil you water if you have the means to do so. Updates forthcoming.

Thanks to the hardworking @AlaskaDHSEM Emergency Operations Center for posting these #earthquake updates
