Our hearts go out to the community of Ketchikan after the devastating impact of the recent landslide. During times of crisis, the strength of a community is truly tested and the strength of small-town Alaska is second to none.

For those caring for loved ones living with dementia, we understand that natural disasters can add an overwhelming layer of stress and uncertainty. Please remember that you are not alone. The Alzheimer’s Association is here to help. If you need support or guidance, our 24/7 Helpline is available at 1-800-272-3900. Whether it's navigating care challenges or simply finding someone to talk to, we're here for you.

Stay safe 💜
