Marshalls Considers ‘Emergency’ Declaration Over Looming Energy Crisis

The Marshall Islands Cabinet will be urged today or tomorrow to declare a state of emergency over the worsening energy crisis that threatens to undermine the country.

The Marshall Islands national disaster committee approved a report Monday recommending that Cabinet take preemptive action before a disaster hits.



The report, with recommendations, is expected to be presented to the Cabinet on Tuesday or Wednesday this week, government officials said.
