expected to be completed by end of May. The contractor, APSCO Construction, assured that while the
foundation will take some time the main structure that include walling and roofing should be in place by end
of June.
The newN EOC is being built in Palikir, National Capital, andwill house the Office of Environment and Emergency
Management. The building is expected to be completed by December 2012 and is estimated to cost around
US$260,000. Funding for the new building has been made available through the European Union Disaster Risk
Reduction project (B-Envelope) implemented by the SOPAC Division, Secretariat of the Pacific Community.
The Project Manager, George Beck, recently visited the construction site and was happy with progress. The
Government is supervising construction work and we are working closely with all parties to ensure that there is
minimum disruption to the work schedule. The project will also furnish the building with basic office furniture
and install early warning communication equipment. The project will be launching a tender in May 2012 for
procurement and installation of early warning communication equipment in all States in FSM.
