Relief distribution is now underway in Kagman, one of the hardest-hit areas on Saipan, with aid supplies from the Federal Emergency Management Agency beginning to reach residents following the onslaught of Super Typhoon Sinlaku. The first pallets of emergency supplies arrived via a FEMA aircraft at the Francisco C. Sablan-Saipan International Airport after 11am, April 18, before being transported to a staging and distribution site in Kagman. At the aid station, Clement “CJ” Bermudez Jr., serving as special coordinator for the Individual Assistance Program, said efforts are now shifting toward helping residents recover in the storm’s aftermath. “This is a program that takes over and helps on the recovery side for individuals,” he said. “This is not directly my operation, but I’m here to assist. Homeland is currently coordinating a distribution point for potable water.” Bermudez said FEMA has “ballparked this for about a week’s worth of water,” intended to supplement existing supplies as access to the area remains limited. “As we know, the road is still [not fully] open and commerce still can’t get in, but this is to supplement and alleviate some of the resource constraints here,” he said. Distribution mechanics are still being finalized, with officials weighing how best to allocate water equitably among residents. Read the full story on our website.
