It supersedes the previously issued 2010 Guam Catastrophic Typhoon Plan. This plan was developed collaboratively with local, territorial, federal, nongovernmental, and private sector partners, consistent with the Whole Community doctrine. This plan presents actions that key Core Capability stakeholders may take to save and sustain lives and protect property of survivors impacted by a catastrophic typhoon on Guam. While this plan focuses on providing federal support to the Territory of Guam, given the proximity of Guam to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), the execution concepts of this plan should not preclude collaborative efforts between CNMI and Guam along with FEMA Region IX for achieving a coordinated and effective regional (“Marianas”) response. This plan was developed as a deliberate plan using a specific Category 5 storm scenario as a guide to its development. Under a credible threat, this deliberate plan may be used as a guide to be modified based on the actual situation, in developing a storm-specific crisis action plan to address deployment, employment, and sustainment of federal resources in support of the Territory of Guam. This plan will undergo joint periodic review to incorporate policy updates, new guidance, and lessons learned from exercises and actual incidents in order to best protect the lives, property, and environment of the communities and jurisdictions within the Territory of Guam.
