Shaktoolik's current top priority is to construct a taller storm surge berm to protect against the 50- year event modeled by the Army Corps of Engineers. ANTHC has supported Shaktoolik by creating a funding plan that matches community priorities with funding opportunities, providing technical assistance to Tribal staff, and support with grant applications. ANTHC has supported Shaktoolik in submitting twelve grant applications. The Consultant shall provide the following services to support Shaktoolik's goals of climate resiliency and hazard mitigation.
