I guess it is about time the head of the federal FEMA and Homeland Security came. The Northwest Passage cruise ships have already started scheduling.
Will he also travel down the Yukon to see the imminent disasters due to environmental change and erosion (wholesale community relocation) or visit Bethel to tour the official non-existent mass disaster shelter http://tinyurl.com/2gyje3
Joel– isn’t the Dept officially Homeland Security ? although your version is more accurate of a short-sighted bunker mentality.
