Last update: 4 hours ago

Emergency Power Milestone: USACE says it has installed its 100th emergency generator across Saipan, Tinian, and Rota, working with FEMA, CNMI officials, and the 249th Engineer Battalion to restore power to critical sites after Super Typhoon Sinlaku. Marijuana Policy Fight: A House Appropriations Committee vote would block federal marijuana rescheduling funding, even as the Trump administration moves ahead with reform—raising uncertainty for patients and businesses. Recovery Partnerships: Samaritan’s Purse is deepening CNMI recovery work, citing long-standing ties built after Typhoon Yutu, now including large-scale airlifted supplies and an Emergency Field Hospital on Saipan. Public Health Watch: DPHSS confirmed 13 pertussis cases in 2026 and is urging vaccination and contact tracing; meanwhile BECQ flagged Saipan water spots where people should avoid swimming or fishing near storm drainages. Aid Access: DPW’s SWEEP program is offering debris removal help for elderly or medically vulnerable residents who can’t safely clear their own property. Health System Disruption: CMS says DMEPOS appeals processing shifts to new enrollment contractors starting May 8, with no expected change to appeal rules.
