    "body_md": "Hundreds of people evacuated from the typhoon that struck Western Alaska last year remain in Anchorage, with no clear timeline for when they will be able to return home. Almost half of the evacuees have moved from short-term arrangements into temporary housing spread across the city as their stay stretches from what was expected to be brief into weeks.\n\nFor the families affected, the extended stay means reworking daily life far from home, including school, work, and transportation while they wait for next steps. Local hotels and services in Anchorage continue to support the group as the situation continues.\n\nCity officials say the timeline for when evacuees can leave remains uncertain. Many arrived in Anchorage expecting only a short stop, and instead have found an unexpected and open-ended pause in their journey.",
