• DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. 

At first light, and when it is safe to do so, Governor Lou Leon Guerrero and Lt. Governor Josh Tenorio, along with partners from the Department of Public Works, Guam Homeland Security/Office of Civil Defense, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), will conduct a windshield assessment to gain visibility of any major damages or blocked roadways in the wake of Typhoon Mawar. As Guam received the full brunt of the typhoon overnight, the assessment will help determine what damages may have occurred.
