JIC Release No. 12 - Stay Out of the Water, Conditions are Life Threatening; Dialysis Centers Update

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.

Sinlaku Update
Guam remains under both a tropical storm warning and a typhoon watch. 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. As of 7 a.m., Sinlaku was located 11.N and 149.1E, 310 miles east-southeast of Guam. It is moving northwest at 9 mph with maximum sustained winds of 180 mph. 

The onset of tropical storm force winds are expected to reach Guam, Rota, Tinian, and Saipan tonight. Typhoon force winds are expected to start reaching Rota, Tinian, and Saipan Tuesday or Tuesday afternoon. Latest forecast track has the storm path passage still expected near or over Tinian and Saipan.
