AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoTyphoon Bavi recovery on Guam and Rota: The Government of Guam says it will open an official typhoon debris disposal site at Ypao Point (former Guam Memorial Hospital site) on Thursday, July 9, running 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily through July 25, with strict limits to green waste and construction debris to protect public health and speed FEMA reimbursement; meanwhile, Guam Power Authority reports major substations largely back online (97% of major substations energized) but distribution feeders remain limited, and officials are still pushing utility restoration and safe cleanup. Rota power and water strain: Rota’s mayor says more than half the island’s structures were damaged and full power restoration could take two to three months, with residents lining up for rationed drinking water (up to 25 gallons per household) as broken pipelines and downed power poles leave essential services offline. Coast Guard port safety checks: U.S. Coast Guard crews continue assessing aids to navigation and channel conditions in Guam and the Northern Marianas, including hazards like a displaced buoy in Apra Harbor, as they work toward reopening ports to daylight operations. Hazardous seas warning: Even as Bavi pulls away, Guam remains under high surf and hazardous seas warnings, with deadly rip currents still a major threat along south and west-facing reefs. Extreme weather beyond the Marianas: In China, storms and tornadoes have killed at least 17 people, with flooding, landslides, and evacuations continuing as officials warn more rain.
