POWER RESTORATION BEGINS

GPA has begun the restoration process. Crews will be working around the clock. Some are starting on the main transmission lines. Others are working on individual circuits.


Priority is with critical facilities such as the hospital and water wells, followed by schools, public safety and ports of entry.


GPA says in order to energize the most customers, some areas may have to be isolated and returned to at a later time.

Residents are asked not to flood GPA dispatch with calls. Crews are working as fast as they can.
Power restoration updates will be available on GPA’s facebook page and on the local news media.

WATER UPDATE

GWA is working to restore service. No specific timetable or locations were provided by the Joint Information Center. A Boil Water notice has been issued for customer health and safety. GWA is also urging those with service to please conserve. Customers can go to the GWA Facebook page for the latest updates.

FLIGHTS AND AIRPORT SERVICES

The AB Won Pat Guam International Airport remains closed. GIAA has completed initial damage inspections and terminal facility and airfield recovery efforts are underway. However, humanitarian and cargo flights are being allowed in. The terminal flooding is being prioritized to get the airport’s equipment back online.

The airfield is being assessed and meetingd are planned with airlines and other key stakeholders on their operational plans and the terminal’s status.
Travelers are asked to contact their respective airlines or the GIAA website for any change in flight status.

SHELTERS
