AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoUtilities & Water: Guam Waterworks Authority is urging strict island-wide water conservation as it restores service after Super Typhoon Bavi, with multiple areas reporting low or no pressure and inspectors ready to check compliance; GWA says crews are adjusting wells, pump stations and reservoirs while outages and low pressure may continue during restoration. Power Restoration: Guam Power Authority reported the island-wide power system avoided a complete blackout during Bavi, but strong winds and downed lines left southern Guam without power as crews prepare major damage assessments once winds drop. Storm Impact & Preparedness: Super Typhoon Bavi hit Rota with catastrophic winds (NWS warning of life-threatening conditions), while Guam and CNMI stayed in high alert and opened shelters as heavy rain and dangerous surf threatened prolonged disruptions. Disaster Funding: FEMA approved nearly $14.7 million for post-disaster recovery across Guam, CNMI and other areas, including $2.3 million for permanent repairs at Guam’s Oceanview Middle School after Typhoon Mawar. Business Community: The Guam Chamber of Commerce named Phillip A. Leddy II as its new vice president, aiming to support pro-business policies and sustainable economic growth. Trade & Agriculture: Guam-linked markets remain in focus as talks move toward expanding U.S. port access for fresh Philippine pineapples, which could broaden shipping routes that currently include Guam and CNMI.
