Coronavirus Resources for Municipalities
Cities and boroughs are on the front lines in responding to the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) in their community. Local leaders have the primary responsibility for ensuring the health and safety of their residents. The Alaska Municipal League wants to make sure Alaska communities have access to the most up-to-date information. Listed below you will find the most recent links to state, federal, and other information about the public health emergency.
