Saipan, Tinian and Rota experienced very heavy rainfall and extremely high winds which caused damages to homes, businesses and critical infrastructure. Utility infrastructure on all three islands has been visibly severely impacted to include downed power lines, transformers and poles. Driving conditions remain hazardous as debris removal operations are still underway. At the request of Governor Ralph DLG. Torres, representatives from FEMA Individual Assistance (IA) and the US Small Business Administration (SBA) joined the CNMI on an Aerial Preliminary Damage Assessment of Saipan, Tinian and Rota. Findings are as follows: SAIPAN: 317 Major; 462 Destroyed (T=779) Villages covered: Kagman 1, 2 & 3 and LauLau, Susupe, Chalan Kanoa, San Antonio, Koblerville, Dandan and San Vicente Power outage across the island 2-mile-long gas lines observed Extensive damage to critical infrastructure in southern Saipan Downed power poles and lines Page 1 of 8 Page printed at fema.gov/ja/press-release/20201016/super-typhoon-yutu-relief-recovery-update-4-post-declaration- 09/28/2021 damage TINIAN: 113 Major; 70 Destroyed (T=183) Villages covered: San Jose & House of Taga, Carolinas, Marpo Valley and Marpo Heights Power outage across the island; estimated to take 3 months to achieve 50% restoration Tinian Health Center sustained extensive damage Observed a downed communications tower ROTA: 38 Major; 13 Destroyed (T=51) Villages covered: Songsong Village and Sinapalo Power outage across the island Sustained the least amount of damage as compared to Saipan and Tinian Red Cross CNMI-wide assessments begin Tuesday, October 30, 2018.

  • Tinian: Not Just an Island in the Pacific
    TINIAN: NOT JUST AN ISLAND IN THE PACIFIC It is a small island, less than 40 square miles, a flat green dot in the vastness of Pacific blue. Fly over it and you notice a slash across its north end of uninhabited bush, a long thin line that looks like an overgrown dirt runway. If you didn't know what it was, you wouldn't give it a second glance out your airplane window. On the ground, you see the runway isn't dirt but tarmac and crushed limestone, abandoned with weeds sticking out of it. Yet this is arguably the most historical airstrip on earth. This is where World War II was won. This is Runway Able On July 24, 1944, 30,000 US Marines landed on the beaches of Tinian. Eight days later, over 8,000 of the 8,800 Japanese soldiers on the island were dead (vs. 328 Marines), and four months later the Seabees had built the busiest airfield of WWII - dubbed North Field – enabling B-29 Superfortresses to launch air attacks on the Philippines, Okinawa, and mainland Japan. Late in the afternoon of August 5, 1945, a B-29 was maneuvered over a bomb loading pit, then after lengthy preparations, taxied to the east end of North Field's main runway, Runway Able, and at 2:45am in the early morning darkness of August 6, took off. The B-29 was piloted by Col. Paul Tibbets of the US Army Air Force, who had named the plane after his mother, Enola Gay. The crew named the bomb they were carrying Little Boy.

  • Northern Mariana Islands
    Suggested Itinerary: Northern Mariana Islands A U.S. commonwealth, the Northern Mariana Islands are a string of 15 volcanic and limestone islands in the Pacific Ocean just north of Guam. They’re known for their rich culture, natural beauty, crystal-clear water, shopping and dining. Kick off your tour in Saipan, the chain’s largest and most adventure-packed island. From there, venture out to explore World War II historic sites and underwater gems in this island paradise. Saipan Suggested: 3 days You’ll slip into relaxation mode as soon as you arrive in Saipan. Don’t fight it – just head to the beach. Good news: all of Saipan’s beaches, even those connected to a resort, are considered public land and are open to all. Before swimming, take note of daily tides. Mañagaha Beach, a quick ferry ride from Saipan, is a lush oasis of white sand, swaying palms and clear blue water. Another popular area for swimming and lounging is Micro Beach in Garapan village. To get a true sense of island life, plan to browse the Garapan Street Market, filled with food stalls, small vendors and live music. Serious shoppers will want to indulge in duty-free shopping at the high-end DFS Galleria Saipan. The island hosts many vibrant festivals throughout the year, including the Marianas Cup Beach Volleyball Festival in February; April’s San Vicente Fiesta Saipan – a carnival celebrating the island’s patron saint; and the Liberation Day Festival, a week-long event in July with music, games and local food vendors commemorating the U.S.
