Disaster Relief for Cancer Patients: Guam Cancer Care launched “Fuel the Fight” to help CNMI cancer patients affected by Super Typhoon Sinlaku, including supplies like Ensure, Glucerna, adult wipes/diapers, and colostomy items; the group says many patients lack power and access to fresh food, and it will sell $20 t-shirts/umbrellas or accept donations with proceeds going to the campaign. Utilities Under Strain: Commonwealth Utilities Corp. CFO Betty Terlaje warned the utility is facing a liquidity crisis after Sinlaku, with $18.3M in disaster costs in 37 days and limited unrestricted cash, warning of possible disruptions to power, water, wastewater, communications, and public safety without urgent borrowing authority. Island Access & Safety: CNMI’s Department of Public Lands said Managaha could reopen by late May or early June after assessments found fallen trees, dead birds, severe beach erosion, and major sand shifting; cleanup is planned with multiple agencies. Water Safety Funding: EPA announced new grants for PFAS and emerging contaminants testing/planning and lead pipe replacement in Guam and the CNMI, supporting utilities and well owners. Nutrition at School: Japan’s Ehime University “Marianas Kyushoku Project” is spotlighting high school-meal waste in Saipan, where many students leave uneaten food, and working on ways to improve meals. Online Child Safety Policy: Multiple U.S. attorneys general, including CNMI-relevant coalition coverage, urged Congress to oppose the KIDS Act, arguing it would weaken state protections for children online. Immigration Policy Shift: A new USCIS memo signals tighter scrutiny for green card applicants already in the U.S., pushing many toward consular processing overseas—raising concerns about family separation and workforce instability in Guam/CNMI.
