The following Public Notices tool was created by the Alaska News Coalition, is an all-volunteer group of newspaper publishers and supporters formed to address the economic challenges of news publishing. The website is a one-stop clearinghouse of public notices from across Alaska, for government agencies and private individuals required to post public notices, while improving and expanding access to the notices for people wanting to learn about government meetings and actions.
AML is excited to work with municipal, tribal, nonprofit employers and training providers in Alaska to help prepare for and respond to emergencies, strengthen infrastructure, and keep our communities safe. Through AK Public Pathways, you can help Alaskans access training that builds the skills most needed in our communities — from emergency management and hazard mitigation to GIS, data management, public health, and cybersecurity.
