Hey everyone!

You may have heard that Samoa has declared a State of Emergency (SOE).

This is actually a positive step, as the country is seeking international support to address power challenges on the island of Upolu.

Please note: This situation does not affect Savaii, so if you're planning any trips there, it's business as usual! Also - the larger properties on Upolu have generators to address their power outages.

We will keep you updated as things progress!

Prime Minister Fiame says it allows the government to implement measures to manage the energy supply, protect public health, and maintain essential services.
