American Red Cross

CNMI residents who were unable to meet the June 1 deadline for Red Cross financial assistance may still qualify if they can show extenuating circumstances, the organization said, urging residents to contact its Saipan office for review.

With thousands still recovering from Typhoon Sinlaku, the Red Cross is reminding residents that today is the final day to start a financial‑assistance case for homes with major or destroyed damage.

Residents seeking federal disaster assistance now have a central place to go, following Wednesday’s opening of the Survivor Recovery Center at the Susupe Multipurpose Center.

The American Red Cross is preparing to launch a financial assistance program for residents whose homes sustained qualifying damage from Super Typhoon Sinlaku, according to ARC executive liaison Chris Georges.

As families displaced by Typhoon Sinlaku seek food, water and safe shelter, 207 American Red Cross volunteers have arrived in the CNMI to support the response.
