- SPECIAL BULLETIN -

Guam remains in Condition of Readiness (COR) 1. The island continues to experience prolonged weather effects, including heavy rain bands and damaging wind gusts, which are expected to persist through the evening. Assessments will be made Thursday morning to determine if it's possible to move to Condition of Readiness (COR) 4. To ensure public safety and allow emergency responders to conduct essential assessments, residents must remain indoors and off the roads until the "All Clear" is officially announced and the island transitions to COR 4.


Slow-Moving Sinlaku Extends Guam’s Peak Conditions

• Damaging winds of 39 mph or more will continue well into the evening, after sunset. Such winds will continue to pose risk to public safety, infrastructure and power lines. 
• Remain indoors until COR 4 is declared. 
• Peak conditions with sustained winds of 40 to 50 mph and gusts of 50 to 60 mph, decreasing to 30 to 40 mph with gusts to 50 late this evening.
• Coastal inundation, particularly around times of high tide, of 2-3 ft. will allow breaking waves to push water higher into shore, high up the beaches, and result in increased shoreline erosion.
• Stay out of the water; conditions are life threatening. Dangerous sea conditions are expected to last until the end of the week.

Docomo Update as of 2:44PM, April 15
Docomo reports that their network is operational across Guam and the CNMI, though some customers may have intermittent connectivity or slower speeds due to widespread commercial power outages. Telecommunications infrastructure is heavily dependent on power, and while backup systems are in place, extended outages and shifting traffic can affect performance. Docomo teams are working around the clock, actively assessing and restoring affected sites, addressing both power and physical issues. Key Network Updates:

• All critical facilities are operational on generator power.
• Approximately 60% of wireless sites are operational, with restoration ongoing. 
• Field Operations teams are deployed.
• Many customers on Docomo’s fixed network have service if power is restored to their homes or if they have backup power. 

Updates for IT&E and GTA were previously reported in JIC Release No. 25.
