A U.S. Coast Guard official described the situation in remote villages Kipnuk and Kwigillingok as "absolute devastation."

Emergency responders in western Alaska are working to help thousands of residents displaced after ferocious, hurricane-force wind gusts from what once was Typhoon Halong tore through remote, coastal communities,

Troopers said that they have suspended the active search for two men missing from Kwigillingok, one of the hardest-hit communities. The men are related to the storm’s lone confirmed fatality, a 67-year-old woman found Monday.

At least 34 individuals were rescued over the weekend as Alaska's coastal region experienced extreme flooding and hurricane-force wind gusts.

As authorities end their large-scale search, volunteers and village public safety officers vow to keep looking for two Kwigillingok residents whose home floated away in the storm.

The Alaska Airlines Center arena at the University of Alaska Anchorage will shelter 300 displaced residents starting Wednesday evening, the American Red Cross said.
