NNDIT is currently aware of internet service disruptions affecting multiple Navajo Nation government offices, both locally and remotely.

At this time, the issue appears to be related to outages and/or maintenance by our service provider, NTUA (Navajo Tribal Utility Authority), affecting various areas. We are actively coordinating with NTUA and monitoring the situation.

What this means for you:

• Some offices may experience intermittent or total loss of internet connectivity

• Access to cloud-based systems, email, VPN, and online services may be affected

What NNDIT is doing:

Working with NTUA to obtain updates and the estimated time of restoration (ETA)

Monitoring network alerts and coordinating with support teams

Providing updates as more information becomes available

We understand the impact this may have on your daily operations and appreciate your patience while services are being restored.

We will continue to keep you informed as updates become available.

If you have questions or need to report a critical issue, please contact the NNDIT Help Desk.
