Crews continue to work to restore electricity and water service in the affected areas, with more than 65% of Guam’s substations being restored and more than 70% of power restored in areas of Rota of the Northern Mariana Islands. Feeding and bottled water operations continue as needed and requested by the territory and the commonwealth officials. Federal, territorial, commonwealth and local government personnel, and volunteer organizations continue responding to residents in Guam and CNMI to address key life-safety measures and to address recovery needs. As efforts switch from response to recovery, more personnel are on their way to the region to support emergency officials’ efforts.
More than 500 FEMA personnel are supporting response and recovery efforts in Guam and CNMI, with more than 200 staff in Guam.
