Two tropical storms are headed toward Saipan while residents of the U.S. territory are still reeling from a typhoon that devastated the island.

The National Weather Service says Tropical Storm Goni is expected to pass between Saipan and Guam on Sunday. Tropical Storm Atsani is following far behind and is forecast to go well north of the Marianas.

For a region that’s accustomed to storms, Goni wouldn’t normally be a problem. But Saipan residents worry tropical-storm-force winds will send debris from downed trees and destroyed tin homes flying into the air.

Resident Glen Hunter says some people aren’t aware of the approaching storms.

Typhoon Soudelor struck Saipan on Aug. 2 with wind speeds between 100 and 120 mph.

The 48-square-mile island remains without electricity, and most residents don’t have running water.

Donations from Hawaii residents at Bank of Hawaii branches across the state for relief efforts in Saipan will go to the American Red Cross.

“Typhoon Soudelor is the biggest storm to hit Saipan in 30 years, and the situation is desperate,” said Coralie Chun Matayoshi, CEO of the American Red Cross, Pacific Islands Region, in a Bank of Hawaii press release.

“Over 1,100 homes were affected, including nearly 600 that were completely destroyed or suffered major damage. About 600 residents sought refuge in shelters with Red Cross to date providing over 14,000 meals and 26,000 emergency relief items. And it’s about to get worse,” Matayoshi said.

Check donations may be made payable to: American Red Cross – Saipan Disaster Relief, and deposited at any Bank of Hawaii branch. Cash donations are also being accepted.

The Salvation Army Hawaiian & Pacific Islands Division is also assisting in the aftermath of Typhoon Soudelor.

“Our Saipan Corps officers and approximately 15 volunteers served more than 2,200 meals (Thursday) to those in need and the numbers continue to grow each day,” Mark Gilden, Divisional Secretary for Business and Emergency Disaster Services Coordinator for The Salvation Army Hawaiian & Pacific Islands Division, said in a press release. 

“Monetary donations are needed to allow replenishment of food supplies for our Soup Kitchen. We are serving meals daily for the duration of the recovery effort.”

Donations can be made online at www.hawaii.salvationarmy.org, or by calling The Salvation Army Hawaiian & Pacific Islands Divisional Headquarters at 808-988-2136. One-hundred percent of the donated funds will support The Salvation Army’s emergency disaster services in Saipan.

A Saipan Relief Hawaii Drive will be held at Safeway Pali, 1360 Pali Highway, on Friday, Aug. 21, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 22, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, Aug. 23, 9 a.m. to noon.
