DISASTER PREPAREDNESS FACT SHEETS
The Guam Department of Education will open eight (8) primary emergency shelters at 2 p.m. today, October 24, 2018. Residents who need emergency shelter are urged to be at the shelters closest to their homes as early as 2 p.m., before damaging winds arrive, which is expected around 6 p.m. today.
Governor Eddie Baza Calvo and Rear Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, commander, Joint Region Marianas, will place Guam and the respective military bases in Condition of Readiness (COR) 2 at noon today.
“I urge all residents to take stock of their homes and prepare,” Governor Calvo stated. “While we are expecting tropical storm conditions, the storm can shift and bring stronger winds and more rain than we currently expect.”
“Those with homes that may not be able to withstand tropical storm winds or stronger are urged to please secure their homes as much as possible and then prepare their families to stay at a shelter until the storm passes,” Lt. Governor Ray Tenorio said.
In preparation of Typhoon Yutu, the following emergency shelters are made available:
