CNMI Relief Effort
On April 14, 2026, Super Typhoon Sinlaku made landfall over Saipan and Tinian with sustained winds near 150 mph. Homes were torn apart, power and water knocked out across the islands, roads left impassable, and the only hospital on Saipan severely flooded. Nearly 50,000 people were affected. Recovery could take weeks to months.

What happened
Sinlaku formed on April 9 and rapidly intensified into the strongest storm of 2026, peaking at 173 mph sustained winds. Its large eye passed directly over both Tinian and Saipan simultaneously, a rare and devastating track.
The storm lingered for more than two days. Families sheltered without electricity, cell service, or running water. Roofs were ripped from homes. Flooding reached the hospital. Infrastructure still recovering from Typhoon Mawar in 2023 took another direct hit.
Over 1,000 people sheltered across Guam and the CNMI. As of April 16, no fatalities have been confirmed, but the damage is estimated at over $1 billion. A federal disaster declaration has been issued.
