AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoPacific Weather Watch: A record-warm El Niño could grow into one of the strongest on record, with central Pacific sea temperatures forecast to peak around 3.9°C above average by December—raising the odds of rough weather across the region. Storm Aftermath (CNMI): Typhoon Bavi has weakened after landfall in eastern China, but the storm’s big moisture and wind impacts are still being felt across the Pacific; here at home, Saipan and Tinian continue recovery from back-to-back typhoons. Power & Water (CUC): Nearly 4,000 CUC customers on Saipan remain without electricity as crews re-energize Bavi-damaged laterals; CUC says new transformer and conductor shipments are arriving soon. Local Politics/Utilities Funding: CUC Executive Director Kevin Watson is urging residents to call House representatives to move a stalled $40 million CUC credit line to a vote—without it, restoration work could slow. Health Response: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared a Public Health Emergency for Guam and CNMI, unlocking emergency flexibilities for Medicare/Medicaid providers. Community Resilience: The Saipan Chamber of Commerce is inviting the public to register for its 17th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament on July 25, with proceeds supporting local students. Sports & Culture: International badminton returns to Saipan with the YONEX Northern Marianas Open July 14–19, and match admission is free.
