JC Penney just after the Alaskan earthquake.

I remember being there just after the Alaska ice cream and seeing the JC Penney Building ripped in half with several stores on one side being higher than the other half. I haven’t seen any pictures like that. Does anybody have any pictures of the JC Penney Building in that condition? 1ToughOldMan (talk) 03:27, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

The U.S. Army and USGS, among many other federal entities, took photos. Not all of them have made their way onto Wikimedia Commons, though I believe there are a few others there besides the one shown above. There was also a multi-part book series consisting of various scientific reports, copiously illustrated. I've seen them on Google Books, but they might not be freely available because they were copyrighted. Hope this helps. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 20:53, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Broken official websites for cities

A lot of Alaskan cities have links to official websites in their infoboxes which start with "www.commerce.alaska.gov/dcra/DCRAExternal/community". These most seem to be broken and might need to be updated. Kk.urban (talk) 19:39, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Most probably just need to be removed. It's better to have nothing than have a dead link. Several have moved their official site to a facebook or other platform. --ARoseWolf 19:57, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

The DCRA went to a more interactive map that displays where the community is located and what its specifics are so all of these individual community links are obsolete. --ARoseWolf 20:03, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Kk.urban, I believe I have dealt with most of them but will continue checking to make sure they are all resolved. I will go through each again to see if the communities have a more official website to add back. Thanks for bringing it up. --ARoseWolf 20:07, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! Kk.urban (talk) 20:08, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
