AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Disaster Recovery: Trump approved a major disaster declaration for CNMI, opening FEMA Individual Assistance for eligible Rota residents after Super Typhoon Bavi (July 4–12) and expanding Public Assistance for recovery work, with direct federal funding on Rota set at 100% for 90 days. FEMA Loans & Help: SBA also announced low-interest disaster loans for CNMI businesses, private nonprofits, and residents affected by Bavi, including physical damage and Economic Injury Disaster Loans for Rota. Local Culture & Language: Joeten-Kiyu Public Library hosted a Fina’-i-che’cho’ Fina’na’guen Inilao Fino’ & Pengnga’ Chamoru event highlighting a new oral history project on the library’s origins and research into the modern evolution of the Fino’ Chamoru language. Campaign Trail: Independent gubernatorial ticket Attao–Villagomez held its first community conversation at a new HQ after typhoon damage forced a move, while lieutenant governor candidate Edith Deleon Guerrero told the Saipan Chamber of Commerce the CNMI is in a fiscal crisis and urged hardened infrastructure and workforce stability. Healthcare Hiring: Delegate Kimberlyn King-Hinds said USCIS confirmed it is not currently requiring the $100,000 H-1B payment tied to certain petitions for CNMI medical professionals. Military Training: Tinian mayor Edwin Aldan welcomed expanded Navy training approval but criticized residents for not being better informed about the Record of Decision’s contents. Deep-Sea Mining: Gov. David Apatang warned Pacific leaders about a Trump-backed push for deep-sea mining, saying there were no consultations and raising concerns for food security.
