ON March 27th, 1964, 50 years ago today, the strongest earthquake in U.S. recorded history struck South Central Alaska. This is a reflection of the Status of Seward Alaska during this great disaster. The emergency planning and commitment on all levels of local government were very evident. The small town of Seward, at the time with a population of 1800, was a model community for Civil Defense functions. I hope you enjoy the history of this great event in Alaska and in particular, the City of Seward's history.
