Flood Recovery in Motion

As Juneau works to recover from this year’s glacial outburst flood, our community is proving once again that we are stronger together. United Way of Southeast Alaska is mobilizing volunteers to work with trained teams visiting flood-impacted homes, sharing meals, connecting residents with resources, and assisting with recovery efforts.

Volunteer Center at Melvin Park

The United Way Volunteer Center is up and running at Melvin Park, connecting willing hands with neighbors who need them. If you want to volunteer or need assistance, use our 2025 Flood Relief form, visit the volunteer team at Melvin Park, or call our team at Melvin Park directly at 907-713-4493.

These early response efforts help us understand where resources are needed most and strengthen our ability to respond quickly when disasters strike.

Your donation to Disaster Relief powers everything from cleanup and supply distribution to volunteer coordination and future preparedness. Every dollar stays in Southeast Alaska, building resilience in our communities today and for the challenges ahead.

Your support turns recovery into resilience, and every dollar stays in Southeast Alaska.

Thank You, Juneau

We are deeply grateful to the volunteers and the local businesses and organizations that have stepped forward with donations and support: The Salvation Army Juneau Corps, Bartlett Regional Hospital, Costco, Mendenhall Contracting, V’s Cellar Door, Tlingit & Haida, and City and Borough of Juneau. Your contributions of water, non-perishable snacks, fans, and dehumidifiers are speeding recovery and showing our neighbors they are not alone.

On the Ground Response

We have been in the field alongside Red Cross, Tlingit & Haida, CBJ, Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, and the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Southeast Alaska. Together, we are visiting homes, identifying hazards, and assessing damage. This work will guide agency preparedness, mitigation, repair, and response efforts in the months ahead.

Debris Collection Starts Monday

Beginning Monday, August 17 at 8 am, crews will collect debris from View Drive, Marion Drive, Meander Way, and Meadow Lane. We're helping homes move debris to the right-of-way for pickup and sort into:

• Large appliances (freezers, refrigerators, lawn mowers, AC units)
• Household hazardous waste (cleaning chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, fuel, propane tanks, electronic waste, anything with a battery or cord)
• Everything else (household waste, construction debris, insulation)
