Rescue crews airlift hundreds out of rural Alaskan villages

Season 2025 Episode 289 | 7m 03s

Rescue crews are airlifting hundreds of evacuees in rural Alaska after the remnants of a typhoon brought hurricane-force winds and record-breaking storm surge to the state's remote western coast. Geoff Bennett discussed the storm with Sage Smiley, the news director at KYUK in Bethel, Alaska, a town that has become a hub for the recovery effort in recent days.
