Some tents have already been installed by the Commonwealth government. The roofing component of the program will begin as soon as equipment and supplies arrive. The roofing program will be available to damaged homes identified during the recent and ongoing damage assessment by the Commonwealth. No additional application is required. But, to ensure a survivor's property has been considered, FEMA advises contacting the CNMI Homeland Security and Emergency Management office at (670)237-8000. Single-family homes, duplexes, and townhomes may be eligible for the roofing component of the program. Apartment complexes and businesses will not be eligible. Buildings must be structurally sound, so approved emergency work can be made safely and will provide suitable shelter. CNMI and Military partners are providing the labor to install the emergency, temporary roofing and some of the tent installations. Because TETRIS is a short-term, non-cash, in-kind emergency disaster relief program, citizenship or qualified alien requirements do not apply. All impacted residents may be eligible for these programs, regardless of citizenship. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
