AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Disaster Recovery: FEMA-directed U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the 249th Engineer Battalion delivered sustained temporary generator power to Tinian on May 28 after Super Typhoon Sinlaku damaged the island’s power plant, with leaders saying electricity is key for health, safety, food and medicine, and getting families back to daily routines. Utility Stability: Commonwealth Utilities Corporation CFO Betty Terlaje warned the utility is facing a liquidity crisis—$18.3M in disaster costs in 37 days, limited unrestricted cash, and fuel shortages—urging lawmakers to authorize borrowing to prevent cascading failures in power, water, wastewater, communications, and public safety. Public Health Support: Guam Cancer Care launched “Fuel the Fight” to supply CNMI cancer patients affected by Sinlaku, including items like Ensure, Glucerna, adult wipes/diapers, and colostomy supplies, with 100% of proceeds going to the campaign. Nutrition Access: Summer EBT/SUN Bucks will provide $120 per school-age child in June across many states and includes the Northern Mariana Islands, helping families buy SNAP-approved groceries during school break. Radiation Justice: The Pacific Association for Radiation Survivors endorsed CNMI inclusion in a proposal to expand the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, aiming for parity for Pacific radiation survivors. Immigration & Health Workforce Risk: A new USCIS memo signals tighter scrutiny for green card applicants already in the U.S., which advocates warn could disrupt families and the local workforce that supports health and care services. Environmental Health: EPA announced grants for PFAS and emerging contaminant work in Guam and CNMI, plus funding to replace lead water pipes in the region.
