SE Alaska COVID 19 Impacts
Impact of COVID-19 on SE AK Communities
COVID-19 impacts on cruise ship tourism have drastically affected Southeast Alaska communities. A collaborative study funded in collaboration with the USFS Pacific NW Science Laboratory will study the impacts of small ship tourism and economic impacts in several communities in SE Alaska.
This is a research project being conducted by the Sitka Sound Science Center, the Central Council of the Tlingit-Haida Tribes, RAND Corporation, and the University of Alaska Southeast. The purpose of this research project is to gain a better understanding of how Southeast Alaskans perceive the risk of COVID-19 and consequently how Southeast Alaskans are prepared against and responding to COVID-19.Contact
