News Report
Napaskiak, Alaska, United States
Power is out in Napaskiak after a small generator fire. The village of around 500 is still waiting for a visit from an electrical contractor, who’s supposed to arrive on Wednesday from Anchorage. Their electrician’s prognosis will give the village a timeline for when power might be restored. It could be back on in a day or a week, but city administrator Joseph Amik says it could be more like a month. Right now, Amik says getting more small scale generators is a priority. For now, some are using personal generators; many are buying them. Some braved the ice-road on sleds and snogos to get their own in Bethel on Monday, but on Tuesday, the river officially closed.Outage link: ebill.mea.coop/maps/public/OutageWebMap/
