CUC Power Funding Fight: Commonwealth Utilities Corp. executive director Kevin Watson says the Senate already approved a stalled $40 million CUC credit line, but the House must put it on the floor for a vote—urging residents to call their House reps as restoration work continues after Super Typhoon Sinlaku and Typhoon Bavi. Power Restoration Update: Nearly 4,000 Saipan customers remain offline as crews re-energize Bavi-damaged laterals first, with more transformers and conductors arriving soon; CUC says the remaining outages are scattered. Public Health Emergency: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. declared a Public Health Emergency for Guam and CNMI, unlocking Medicare/Medicaid flexibilities to keep care running and speed staffing and patient transfers. Ports Back to Business: The U.S. Coast Guard reopened the Port of Guam to 24/7 commercial traffic and reopened Tinian for daylight-only operations after Bavi-related closures. Disaster Response Coordination: CNMI’s Joint Information Center reports shelters open, Saipan power nearing full restoration, Saipan water at about 60% with a boil-water notice, and Rota still working through outages and low pressure. Sports & Community Resilience: The Saipan Chamber of Commerce is pushing registration for its July 25 scholarship golf tournament, and the YONEX Northern Marianas Open returns July 14–19 with free admission to matches. Regional Storm Watch: Typhoon Bavi weakened after hitting China’s coast but still brought strong winds and heavy rain, with millions evacuated in Zhejiang and beyond.
