Alaskans grapple with fallout from typhoon-related flooding

Rising waters brought power outages, damage and concerns over surviving the winter as downpours also affected California

On Monday, authorities were making contact with some of the most remote villages in the United States - some only accessible by airplane - to determine the need for food and water and to assess damage from the immense weekend storm.
