I introduced H.R. 8931, the Northern Mariana Islands Workforce Improvement Act, to provide greater workforce stability for the CNMI by supporting long-term CW-1 workers and the employers who rely on them.

As our Commonwealth continues to recover and rebuild, a strong and reliable workforce remains essential to our future.

Tsunami Advisory Issued for CNMI

The CNMI Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM), in coordination with the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, has issued a tsunami advisory for the Northern Mariana Islands following a magnitude 7.9 earthquake near Mindanao, Philippines.

Residents are advised to stay out of the water and away from beaches, harbors, and coastal waterways due to potentially hazardous ocean conditions and strong currents. Do not go to the shoreline to observe wave activity.

A full-scale evacuation is not in effect at this time. Continue monitoring official updates from CNMI HSEM and follow all instructions as conditions may change.
