text: The governor disaster declaration is only to protect the state infrastructure, IE Roads, Etc. It has nothing to do with helping Alaskan relocate their homes or saving their property. Only when it endangers the highway system does the state and borough take action. We've seen the videos of Alaskan's homes falling into the river. What did the state and borough do then? They watched and did nothing. The same will happen this time, except the road system will be saved.
