Guam, and the respective military bases, remain in Condition of Readiness (COR) 2, and Tropical Cyclone Condition of Readiness (TCCOR) 2. At COR2, the Government of Guam, with the exception of essential services, will not be operational and will remain closed until COR 4 is announced.
At TCCOR 2, installation services are significantly reduced across all military installations on Guam. Most Morale, Welfare, and Recreation facilities, fitness centers, child development programs, and retail services are closed. Commissaries, gas stations, and select essential services are operating on limited or adjusted hours prior to closing. U.S. Naval Hospital Guam has shifted to emergency services only until further notice. Residents are encouraged to complete necessary shopping, fuel, and preparation activities ahead of facility closures and to monitor official installation channels for the most current operating hours. Specific base service hours of operation are available on the Joint Region Marianas Facebook page.
Super Typhoon Sinlaku; Guam Anticipates Tropical Storm Force Winds
Guam remains under both a tropical storm warning and a typhoon watch which means that tropical storm conditions are expected within 24 hours. The threat of typhoon conditions affecting Guam have decreased with recent northward shifts of Super Typhoon Sinlaku’s track the past 24 hours. While the threat of typhoon force winds has significantly diminished, this remains a serious weather event.
The onset of tropical storm force winds (39 mph or more) are expected to reach Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan Monday night. At this time, Guam is not anticipated to receive typhoon force winds (74 mph or more) but still remains in a typhoon watch in the unlikely event of any southward shift of track.
