NWS expects this system to drift westward, possibly becoming stationary south of Guam over the weekend. It will continue a wet pattern across Chuuk State, and may lead to some scattered showers across Guam by this Friday and into the weekend.
For those Typhoon Mawar survivors who received initial rental assistance, it’s important to stay in touch with FEMA, as you may be eligible for continued rental assistance. The initial grant is for the first two months. If you have exhausted the initial amount and need more, you may apply for continued assistance in three-month periods – up to 18 months from the President’s major disaster declaration, or November 28, 2024.
There are a few simple steps to apply for Continued Temporary Housing Assistance:
In light of decreased demand from Typhoon Mawar survivors, the FEMA helpline at 800-621-3362 is now open 19 hours daily, with revised hours from 9 p.m. (ChST) to 4 p.m. (ChST) the following day.
Guam residents who registered with FEMA for disaster assistance after Typhoon Mawar are encouraged to stay in contact with FEMA to resolve issues, provide updates on their applications or submit new information.
