Injury & Aviation Safety: Samoa Airways’ refurbished Twin Otter (Flight 990) veered off the runway at Fitiuta Airport in Manu‘a after landing in strong crosswinds; five were onboard and one passenger suffered a leg injury treated at Fitiuta Clinic while authorities investigate. Food Safety at the Border: The Department of Health issued a traveler advisory limiting imports from Samoa to personal use only, capping food at 10 total units per person and requiring medications to be properly labeled and declared. Public Health Enforcement: DOH clarified why some food businesses can reopen after closures for health violations—permits can be suspended or revoked under Title 25, but reopening is allowed once corrective actions are completed and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance. Domestic Violence Support: Two American Samoa nonprofits received $900,000 in DOJ/OVW grants to strengthen services for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (Intersections, Inc. and Empowering Pacific Island Communities). Adolescent Health Research: Dr. Mata’uitafa Faiai, whose work focused on obesity and cardiometabolic risks among American Samoan adolescents, began a one-year postdoctoral fellowship after earning a PhD in Chronic Disease Epidemiology from Yale. Community Health Funding: HHS/CDC awarded ASDOH $493,002 to boost epidemiology, laboratory capacity, and infectious disease surveillance through 2029. Workplace/Community Wellness: A local endurance event, “Chasing Yesterday,” is set to raise awareness for children affected by alcohol addiction while inviting community members to join the runners.
