Today, we remember the Great Alaska Good Friday Earthquake of March 27, 1964.
We honor the lives lost, the communities forever changed, and the strength of the people who endured the 9.2-magnitude earthquake — one of the most powerful ever recorded. It also triggered a tsunami that brought immense destruction and loss to our region.
The resilience shown in the aftermath, especially in our Alutiiq communities, continues to inspire us today.
