These regular deliveries are part of Samoa’s ongoing efforts to maintain fuel supplies and prevent shortages against the supply disruptions in the Middle East.

Lealaisalanoa said the government remains vigilant as it monitors ongoing global conflicts that could threaten Samoa’s fuel supply.

Due to these concerns, the country remains on Amber Level Alert.

This alert indicates that Samoa is watching the situation closely and is prepared to act if there are any immediate global crises.

Lealailesalanoa explained that the Disaster Advisory Committee will advise the government when it is safe to move from Amber to Green Alert when the circumstances improve.

Meanwhile, government ministries continue to operate with a limited number of five vehicles each and advising conserving electricity usage in the offices.

This does not include the vehicles used by Cabinet Ministers, which are separate from the general fleet.
