Guam, and the respective military bases, remain in Condition of Readiness (COR) 1, and Tropical Cyclone Condition of Readiness (TCCOR) 1 as of 4 p.m., April 13, 2026.

Transition Waste Disposal Sites Not Open
The Joint Information Center is aware of an unofficial photo circulating on social media that identifies temporary sites to dispose of waste — a regular public service offered following major storms. While the photo accurately reflects ongoing discussions, the JIC would like to stress that these locations are preliminary, not final, and that changes are possible before these sites open. The public is advised to not go to any site to dispose of trash and debris until an official announcement of locations and operating hours is made.
Premature disposal, even at sites that will be operating to serve the public, will be considered illegal dumping.
The Guam Environmental Protection Agency reminds residents that illegal dumping during storms, including abandoning construction debris or household waste, significantly increases flood risks by clogging storm drains and causing hazardous materials to contaminate waterways. These illegal activities, often intensified during cleanup efforts, block drainage systems, cause severe property damage, and can lead to severe fines and criminal penalties.
Report suspicious dumping activities, to include date, time, location, type of waste, vehicle description and license plates, to Guam Environmental Protection Agency at report@epa.guam.gov. Illegal dumping can result in fines of $1,000 or more. Residents can also call (671) 588-4751 when COR4 is declared.
