AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoTravel Safety Update: The U.S. State Department has lowered its travel advisory for New Caledonia from Level 3 (“Reconsider Travel”) to Level 2 (“Exercise Increased Caution”), citing improved safety since the 2024 unrest and noting remaining risks like petty crime (especially outside Nouméa at night), political demonstrations, and “extremely limited” emergency support outside the capital. Dengue Watch: The Cook Islands has been declared dengue-free after 26 days with no new cases, but Tonga is still reporting dengue hospitalisations (66 cases total, with two hospitalised as of 25 May) and New Caledonia and Samoa are also seeing cases—an urgent reminder to keep mosquito breeding areas under control. Local Health Capacity Planning: In Burns Lake, the mayor says Northern Health is receptive to a proposal to use the College of New Caledonia campus and local hospitals to train heavy equipment operators for upcoming mining work—aiming to protect hospital capacity as industrial projects ramp up.
