Whether natural or man-made, these emergency situations can result in damage to property and endanger the health and safety of the general public. Guam regularly experiences natural disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, and floods. Fires and disasters from hazardous materials are other occurrences that may endanger you and your property. Prepare Basic Supplies In the event of an emergency, you should be prepared to be self-sufficient for up to seven days. Preparing and maintaining an emergency supply of essential items can help ensure that you have adequate supplies to meet your and your family’s needs until help arrives. Basic emergency supplies include: One week supply of canned and dried food Cell Phone with charger, extra battery items Can Opener Drinking water – at least one gallon per Roll up mat and blankets person per day 3-day supply of change of clothes Flashlights and extra batteries Sturdy shoes Battery operated radio Lighter First Aid kit Formula (powder or liquid) Whistle Baby food 10 - 30 day supply of medications and Disposable diapers medical supplies Change of clothes, bibs, blankets Toilet tissue and personal hygiene supplies Baby soap,shampoo, powder, lotion Water for flushing toilet in the event water and wipes is shut off Disposable gloves/Hand sanitizer Trash bags, gloves, duct tape or masking tape, and plastic containers for storing Favorite toy, blanket, stuffed animal or items books Chlorine bleach for sanitizing Paper products (plates, spoons, forks, and paper towels) Propane stove and extra propane gas 5 Emergency Preparedness Make a Plan and Practice your Plan Emergency preparedness also means making a plan. Your plan should: Designate a place to meet if you and your family are separated from each other. Pick a primary and alternate contact number for you and your family to call if you are separated from each other. Establish a buddy system with other family members, friends, neighbors, or co-workers, and develop a plan on how you can help each other. Consider including your children in your planning, preparation, and other activities to help them understand the importance of emergency preparedness. Children learn from your example. Share your plan and your emergency contact list with members in your buddy system. Make a plan on how to secure your house in case you are not home or you are otherwise unable to secure your home. Identify another place to go to in case you need to evacuate. Establish your primary and alternate evacuation routes. If you use mobility aids, plan on how to take them with you and how to store extra aids at your alternate shelter, if possible. Pack a GO-KIT (Disaster Supply Kit) You should prepare a bag with your most essential items that you can grab if an emergency situation occurs and you need to evacuate right away. Be sure the bag is not too heavy for you or someone to carry. Your emergency GO-KIT should include: List of contact numbers Dried foods and bottled water Flashlight and extra batteries Whistle Small portable radio and extra batteries Basic toiletries and sanitary items Medications and medical supplies Important documents, including medical information It is a good idea to: Place your bag near an entry or exit way so it can easily be carried out. Put reminder notices in your calendar or appointment book to check and replace items in your bag at least every 6 months. Let people in your buddy system know where your GO-KIT is located. 6 Government Numbers Office of the Governor and Guam Legislature Lieutenant Governor of Guam Address: Address: 163 Chalan Santo Papa Ricardo J.

  • Reading American Empire in Guam
    “I Guess They Didn’t Want Us Asking Too Many Questions”: Reading American Empire in Guam Valerie Solar Woodward United States narratives about its island possession Guam have empha- sized notions of liberation and loyalty and uphold a picture of a benevo- lent and just America that provides freedom and opportunity to all who live under its flag. These narratives help to justify the current power regime and provide “authoritative narratives of the nation, delimit proper behavior of citizens, and sketch the parameters of the national imagina- tion”; however, it is important to note that “narratives of nationhood... are always unfinished projects” (Hein and Selden 2000, 3), and there are multiple channels through which a variety of narratives can be expressed. In this article, I examine texts by two authors that expand and sometimes challenge these narratives of Guam. The texts—Mariquita: A Tragedy of Guam by Chris Perez Howard (1986) and three poems from Craig Santos Perez’s book from unincorpo- rated territory: [hacha] (2008)—demonstrate how these two authors uti- lize and manipulate the rhetorics of liberation and patriotism in order to claim a space for their own distinct voices while dealing with the complex history of Guam, citizenship, and American empire. These two examples are intriguing because of the ways that they illuminate how US imperial- ism has cloaked itself through the rhetoric of constitutional law, patrio- tism, and liberation from Japanese militarism. Mariquita is a short biography regarding the tragic circumstances that the author’s mother experienced during the World War II occupation of Guam by the Imperial Japanese Army.

The War in the Pacific National Historical Park, which occupies seven parcels of land on the small island of Guam, celebrates the "freedom" that the U.S. brought to the region in World War II. But in fact, this landscape sits at the nexus of several contested territories. Guam was seized in the 1898 Spanish—American War—the final wave of American territorial expansion—and experienced 50 years of dictatorship under the U.S.

  • Militarization and Identity on Guahan/Guam: Exploring Intersections of Indigeneity, Gender and Security
    Militarization and Identity on Guahan/Guam: Exploring intersections of indigeneity, gender and security Ronni Alexander Abstract While the Pacific island of Guahan/Guam is best known as a vacation resort, in fact much of the island has been taken to house US military bases and other facilities. Over 400 years of military colonialism has devalorized the local ‘CHamoru’ culture, making it virtually invisible not only for those outside of Guahan/Guam but also for many CHamoru people themselves. This article reflects on the implications of this history for CHamoru female and male bodies and lived lives. Using an intersectional approach, the article seeks to better understand the complexities underlying local attitudes toward the US military presence, including a proposed military build-up. Key Words Guam/Guahan, CHamoru, citizenship, gender, intersectionality, militarization, military colonialism, security 1 Militarization and Identity on Guahan/Guam: Exploring intersections of indigeneity, gender and security Ronni Alexander The Pacific island of Guam (Guahan)１is best known as a tourist destination, but in fact for over four hundred years, it has been subjected to the military and strategic desires of outside powers. In 1521, Magellan first claimed the island for Spain; control shifted to the United States in 1898 after Spain’s defeat in the Spanish-American War. Today the island remains on the list of non-self-governing territories maintained by the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization. Guahan/Guam is a military colony of the United States. The people have had US citizenship, but no voice in the decisions that have put a third of their island under US military control.

Do you understand the American ain’t gonna find nothing but just flies?1 The September 11, 2001 attacks and the December 7, 1941 air raid on Pearl Harbor are not the only occasions when an enemy has attacked the United States on its own soil. Guam was a territory of the United States for over forty years when the Imperial Japanese Army drove United States forces off the small island and violently occupied Guam for nearly three years during World War II.
