FSM
Information Services (November 1, 2012): In an October 31 email to
President Manny Mori, FSM Ambassador to the United States, Mr. Asterio Takesy, reported to the President on
the status of the FSM Embassy in DC and the FSM United Nations Permanent
Mission in New York in the wake of Superstorm Sandy.
“I am pleased and thankful to report that the FSM
Permanent Mission at UN in NY and FSM Embassy in DC staff and their respective
families came through Hurricane Sandy unharmed. Most of Manhattan was without
power all of last night and some areas have been restored. Cell phone services
have been restored in certain part of the city, including the area where
Ambassador Chigiyal and Clement are residing. Jeem's place experienced some
flooding but they are fine”, Ambassador Takesy stated.
Several people in the FSM were anxious to learn more of their relatives and friends in the most
affected parts of the United States that were ravaged by the super storm that
affected a wider region inclusive of the Caribbean and parts of the US and
Canada. Many of them could not be reached as communication services were
affected.
The US Federal, State and District authorities, as well
as other private enterprises, have begun collaborative efforts to put in
recovery measures and get assistance to affected families as officials continue
to assess the destructions.
Ambassador Takesy’s email to President Mori was a
welcoming relief, knowing FSM officials and their families are safe and that
our offices would be able to resume operations at appropriate times after they
had to close for precautionary reasons.
