The resolution extends the governor's declaration of a disaster emergency initially made on October 9, 2025, in response to the severe impacts of the 2025 West Coast Storm. This declaration has been previously extended multiple times, with the latest expiration date set for March 8, 2026. The resolution highlights the ongoing need for emergency actions and infrastructure support to address the storm's effects, which remain significant.

Under Alaska Statute AS 26.23.020(c), the legislature is required to extend the disaster emergency declaration through a concurrent resolution if it is to remain in effect beyond 30 days. Therefore, the resolution officially extends the disaster emergency until April 7, 2026, and retroactively applies this extension to March 8, 2026, allowing state agencies to continue their emergency response efforts effectively.
