What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Small business operators in Saipan are requesting that the Disaster Unemployment Assistance program for Typhoon Sinlaku include foreign workers, specifically CNMI-Only Transitional Workers. More than $10.1 million in federal disaster relief funding has been designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to assist those who lost income or jobs due to recent disasters in the Commonwealth. The CNMI Department of Labor launched the DUA portal on October 9, with an application deadline set for October 24.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The calls for broader inclusion in the relief program relate to the existing federal aid provided to Saipan following the disaster. The inclusion of all affected residents, including foreign workers, could influence how the local labor market stabilizes during the recovery period.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency previously provided critical federal support to Saipan after a request for assistance from Governor David M. Apatang, including deploying emergency generators following Sinlaku damage.
