ent in anchorage at the urging of geologist lidia selkregg the city of anchorage and the alaska state housing authority appointed a team of 40 scientists including geologists soil scientists and engineers to assess the damage done by the earthquake to the city 29 the team called the engineering and geological evaluation group was headed by ruth a m schmidt a geology professor at the university of alaska anchorage the team of scientists came into conflict with local developers and downtown business owners who wanted to immediately rebuild the scientists wanted to identify future dangers to ensure that the rebuilt infrastructure would be safe 30 the team produced a report on may 8 1964 just a little more than a month after the earthquake 29 31 the united states military which has a large active presence in alaska also stepped in to assist within moments of the end of the quake the u s army rapidly re established communications with the lower 48 states deployed troops to assist the citizens of anchorage and dispatched a convoy to valdez 32 on the advice of military and civilian leaders president lyndon b johnson declared all of alaska a major disaster area the day after the quake the u s navy and u s coast guard deployed ships to isolated coastal communities to assist with immediate needs bad weather and poor visibility hampered air rescue and observation efforts the day after the quake but on sunday the 29th the situation improved and rescue helicopters and observation aircraft were deployed 32 a military airlift immediately began shipping relief supplies to alaska eventually delivering 2 570 000 pounds 1 170 000 kg of food and other supplies 33 broadcast journalist genie chance assisted in recovery and relief efforts staying on the keni air waves over anchorage for more than 24 continuous hours as the voice of calm from her temporary post within the anchorage public safety building 34 she was effectively designated as the public safety officer by the city s police chief 34 chance provided breaking news of the catastrophic events that continued to develop following the magnitude 9 2 earthquake and she served as the voice of the public safety office coordinating response efforts connecting available resources to needs around the community disseminating information about shelters and prepared food rations passing messages of well being between loved ones and helping to reunite families 35 in the longer term the u s army corps of engineers led the effort to rebuild roads clear debris and establish new townsites for communities that had been completely destroyed at a cost of 110 million 33 the west coast and alaska tsunami warning center was formed as a direct response to the disaster federal disaster relief funds paid for reconstruction as well as financially supporting the devastated infrastructure of alaska s government spending hundreds of millions of dollars that helped keep alaska financially solvent until the discovery of massive oil deposits at prudhoe bay at the order of the u s defense department the alaska national guard founded the alaska division of emergency services to respond to any future disasters 32 oil boom the 1968 discovery of oil at prudhoe bay and the 1977 completion of the trans alaska pipeline system led to an oil boom royalty revenues from oil have funded large state budgets from 1980 onward oil pooled on rocks on the shore of prince william sound after the 1989 exxon valdez oil spill oil production was not the only economic value of alaska s land in the second half of the 20th century alaska discovered tourism as an important source of revenue tourism became popular after world war ii when military personnel stationed in the region returned home praising its natural splendor the alcan highway built during the war and the alaska marine highway system completed in 1963 made the state more accessible than before tourism has become increasingly important in alaska and today more than 1 4 million people visit the state each year 36 with tourism more vital to the economy environmentalism rose in importance the alaska national interest lands conservation act anilca of 1980 added 53 7 million acres 217 000 km 2 to the national wildlife refuge system parts of 25 rivers to the national wild and scenic rivers system 3 3 million acres 13 000 km 2 to national forest lands and 43 6 million acres 176 000 km 2 to national park land because of the act alaska now contains two thirds of all american national parklands today more than half of alaskan land is owned by the federal government 37 in 1989 the exxon valdez hit a reef in the prince william sound spilling more than 11 million gallons 42 megalitres of crude oil over 1 100 miles 1 800 km of coastline today the battle between philosophies of development and conservation is seen in the contentious debate over oil drilling in the arctic national wildlife refuge and the proposed pebble mine 38 geography main article geography of alaska alaska municipalities located at the northwest corner of north america very near to asia alaska is the northernmost and westernmost state in

mostly unpopulated areas south of the alaska range and west of the wrangell mountains also fall within the definition of south central as do the prince william sound area and the communities of cordova and valdez 47 southeast main article southeast alaska also referred to as the panhandle or inside passage this is the region of alaska closest to the contiguous states as such this was where most of the initial non indigenous settlement occurred in the years following the alaska purchase the region is dominated by the alexander archipelago as well as the tongass national forest the largest national forest in the united states it contains the state capital juneau the former capital sitka and ketchikan at one time alaska s largest city 48 the alaska marine highway provides a vital surface transportation link throughout the area and country as only three communities haines hyder and skagway enjoy direct connections to the contiguous north american road system 49 interior main

southwest alaska southwest alaska is a sparsely inhabited region stretching some 500 miles 800 km inland from the bering sea most of the population lives along the coast kodiak island is also located in the southwest 52 the massive yukon kuskokwim delta one of the largest river deltas in the world 53 is here portions of the alaska peninsula are considered part of the southwest with the aleutian islands often but not always being grouped in as well citation needed aleutian islands main article aleutian islands although entirely east of the international date line the triangular kink in the line was agreed upon the u s acquisition of alaska the aleutian islands cross the 180th meridian such that they contain both the westernmost amatignak and the easternmost semisopochnoi points in the united states while primarily part of southwest alaska when grouped economically the aleutian islands are sometimes recognized as an alternate group from the rest of the region due to the geographic separation from the continent more than 300 small volcanic islands make up this chain which stretches more than 1 200 miles 1 900 km into the pacific ocean some of these islands fall in the eastern hemisphere but the international date line was drawn west of 180 to keep the whole state and thus the entire north american continent within the same legal day two of the islands attu and kiska were
