Link: Fairbanks Daily News-Miner With the completion of 13 new homes in Eagle, which was inundated by an ice-jam-caused Yukon River flood in May, everyone who was left homeless has a place to live for winter. Rob Paire, a Pennsylvania contractor who served as coordinator for the hundreds of volunteers who went to Eagle to help rebuild, says the oft-maligned Federal Emergency Management Agency deserves much of the credit, especially for making cash readily available. "FEMA did a stellar job," Paire said. "I know they got some bad press on other projects, but this one was really a home run, in my book." FEMA also funded a home in Aniak, on the Kuskokwim River, and repaired 40 damaged homes in Eagle and other villages.
