Typhoon Sinlaku brought high winds and heavy rainfall to the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam, causing widespread power blackouts, flooding, and extensive damage to homes and infrastructure.

In coordination with FEMA and other federal partners, the NASA Disasters Program worked with FEMA, USGS, the American Red Cross and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to support the U.S. response to the storm. The program shared satellite-based maps and data with partners, including NASA Black Marble data to assess power outages, landslide hazard assessment maps, and imagery from commercial partners – enabled by NASA's Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition Program – that provided context and situational awareness. NASA also shared IMERG satellite precipitation data to assess rainfall impacts when ground-based weather radars on the islands were disabled by the storm.
