To address food security problems in Nuiqsut, problems with local ice cellars must be addressed. Actions may include: 1) improving the storage environment in existing cellars, 2) establishing new cellars at a location with a better environment, or 3) developing alternative method for storage. Since many of the cellars are still in use, the priority is on finding ways to prevent them from thawing and to develop storage for community members who are without. Understanding conditions inside cellars and the factors that affect them is critical for determining adaptation options. Identification of local cellars that produce food that is safe and tastes good is very important. Monitoring these cellars is recommended, to record environmental conditions (humidity, temperature etc.), and how they change throughout the food storage season. This is necessary to replicate good conditions in new cellars, or in engineered storage facilities. Immediate actions are needed to address cellar safety issues and prevent serious injury or death. Development of guidance for ice cellars (structural, confirmed space, air quality, slips and falls) is recommended. Appendix A of this report is a conceptual design for an ice cellar developed by engineers at ANTHC. Features of the design include an energy efficient thermostat controlled cooling system, solar and/or wind energy system, structural supports and ventilation for allowing exchange of cellar and outside air. The design is based on technology that is being piloted in other communities to protect permafrost vulnerable water and sanitation infrastructure. Designs like this may someday be used to improve food storage for North Slope communities.
