Joint Information Center
The Joint Information Center (JIC) continues to coordinate response and recovery efforts following Typhoon Sinlaku. Situation reports will now be issued on Fridays. Agencies and partners remain actively engaged in restoring critical services and supporting communities across Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. Future updates will provide information on CUC restoration efforts for Saipan and Tinian, the S.T.R.O.N.G. Tent and Roofing Mission, and other key CNMI Government updates.
The program provided CNMI households whose homes sustained typhoon damage with temporary non-congregate sheltering while their homes underwent permanent repairs. It was coordinated by the CNMI Government, Island Mayors’ Offices, CNMI Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services, and the CNMI Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management in conjunction with FEMA, the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the U.S. Forest Service.
The STRONG Tent and Roofing Program has successfully completed all installations for eligible households across Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. This marks the final report for the STRONG Tent and Roofing Program.

Saipan Power Generation Facilities
The following provides the latest operational status and ongoing work at Saipan’s power generation facilities.
Plants 1 & 2
Repairs to the side walls and power plant walls to prevent further water ingress into the switchgears and protect the generators are approximately 95% complete.
Completed Work and Diesel Engines Online
- DE#1: Operational and online.
- DE#2: Operational and online.
- DE#3: Operational and on standby.
- DE#4: Operational and testing completed on May 15, 2026.
Work in Progress
- DE#7: Maintenance is ongoing.
Plant 3
The backup generator has been on standby since May 13, 2026, with the water wells transferred to the CUC power grid.
Plant 4
Diesel Engines no. 2 and no. 3, DE#2 and DE#3, are operational and available for load peaking when needed.
Work in Progress
- DE#10: Pending repairs to the generator set.
Aggreko
Diesel Engines Online: 12 as of June 24, 2026.
Total Available capacity: 34.7 Megawatts (MW) (PP1: 18.7 MW; PP2: 0 MW; PP4: 4 MW; Aggreko: 12 MW)
Before any outages the peak demand was approximately: 30 MW
Although current generation capacity has been restored to 34.7 megawatts (MW), surpassing pre-Super Typhoon Sinlaku operational levels, full power restoration has not yet been achieved. While generation at the power plants is now substantially stabilized, ongoing restoration work remains necessary on damaged power poles, transmission infrastructure, and lateral lines throughout the villages.
Full restoration can only be realized once both generation capacity and distribution infrastructure repairs are completed, as these systems work hand in hand to reliably deliver power to all affected communities.

The CNMI Joint Information Center (JIC) continues to coordinate response and recovery efforts following Super Typhoon Bavi. Agencies and partners remain actively engaged in restoring critical services and supporting communities across Saipan, Tinian, and Rota.
Federal disaster assistance is now available to help individuals and households recover from the impacts of Super Typhoon Bavi that occurred July 4-12, 2026. The Major Disaster Declaration authorizes FEMA’s Individual Assistance program for the Island of Rota in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
If you have homeowners or renters’ insurance, you should file a claim as soon as possible. By law, FEMA cannot duplicate benefits for losses covered by insurance. If your policy does not cover all your damage expenses, you may then be eligible for federal assistance.
How to Apply for FEMA Assistance
Survivors can apply for FEMA Individual Assistance by:
- Phone: By calling the local toll-free line at 671-735-1050, or by calling FEMA’s national helpline at 1-800- 621-3362 (1-800-621-FEMA). Long distance charges may apply. Both lines are available 8:00 pm – 3:30 pm ChST, seven days a week. ○ If you use a relay service, such as video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, provide FEMA the number for that service.
- Online: Visiting DisasterAssistance.gov.
- Mobile App: Using the FEMA app on a smartphone or tablet.
Registration is free and survivors should apply as soon as possible; applications can be updated with additional information as conditions change.

Communications
Crews restored connectivity to the Mt. Alutom communications tower on Guam on Thursday (7/9) using a FEMA generator, improving VHF radio coverage in parts of the region. However, VHF towers on Saipan and Rota remain offline. The Rota Emergency Operations Center also confirmed that the island’s VHF tower sustained damage during Super Typhoon Bavi, further limiting near-shore radio communications.
The U.S. Coast Guard reports multiple navigational aids are off station, discrepant, or missing. A Broadcast Notice to Mariners remains in effect, and all mariners are urged to exercise extreme caution while transiting regional waters as assessments and repairs continue.
The U.S. Coast Guard advises the public to:
- Report emergencies via VHF Channel 16 or by calling 911. Do not rely on social media for distress reporting; carry multiple communication methods due to ongoing outages.
- Rely on official sources for safety updates and reopening information, including NWS Guam, Guam Homeland Security/Office of Civil Defense, and the CNMI EOC State Warning Point.
