Stronger Guam emergency plan and drills
The law makes the Guam Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan a standing, all-hazards plan. The Office of Civil Defense, with Guam Homeland Security, keeps it current and sets how government, village mayors, the military, nonprofits, and businesses coordinate using national incident command. The plan covers resource requests, early activation, roles in the Emergency Operations Center, emergency powers and declarations, continuity of government, and multilingual alerts. Within three months of enactment and at least every year after, the agencies must review, exercise, and update the plan; they choose the exercise type and hazard. After each review or drill, they must send a report within 90 calendar days to the Governor, the Speaker, and the oversight chair with tested hazards, gaps, fixes, and recommended actions.
