For three days in early April 2026, Chuuk State and two municipalities in Yap were battered by Typhoon Sinlaku as it moved NW across the Pacific. Its enormous power brought it far to the north of the Pacific where it eventually dissipated on the 20th. It reached wind speeds of up to 177 mph on April 13 near Weno and its diameter covered a vast 113 miles. The Saffir-Simpson system classified Sinlaku as a category 5 typhoon. It hung just to the north of the Chuuk lagoon for 3 days, exacerbating the impact of the event. The system brought destructive winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, saltwater intrusion, and prolonged service disruptions. While the immediate cyclone threat has passed, humanitarian needs remain significant, particularly for safe water, food, shelter, health risk mitigation, access, and the restoration of essential services.
