Coastal Emergency Shelter Cabin EA
Bering Land Bridge National Preserve » Coastal Emergency Shelter Cabin EA
We propose a new emergency shelter cabin on the southeast shore of the Cowpack Lagoon, to replace the destroyed the Kividluk Emergency Shelter Cabin in Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, Alaska.
In 2006, the Kividluk Emergency Shelter Cabin, located at Kividlo, was destroyed by high winds. There are currently no NPS shelters available for many miles - about 37 miles by snow machine to Shishmaref or 50 miles to Kotzebue if Kotzebue Sound is frozen. A new coastal emergency shelter cabin would provide life-saving emergency shelter for subsistence users, the public, and NPS staff in the area during severe weather.
