Fairbanks, Alaska, Aug. 23, 2013 -- The Area Field Office (AFO)  opens as a support function to the Joint Field Office (JFO), which is over 360 miles away. FEMA uses AFO's when the Joint Field Office and the affected areas are not in a commutable distance for emergency managers, thus maximizing relief efforts for disaster survivors. Adam DuBrowa/FEMA
