As strong winds and heavy rain move in, families across the island are seeking safety. Many are now staying at George Washington High School, the designated public shelter for Central Guam residents.

Dr. Darlene Roberto, the manager for shift three shared how many people are currently in the shelter, and what the red cross has provided for families. "We have 50 people here right now, families and some single males and single females," she explained. "So we're really fortunate you know that the American Red Cross was able to provide us with a minimal number of cots. We do have some canned goods, of course some water and definitely blankets, we have some of the supplies here with us today."

She also emphasized the importance of accounting for everyone staying in the shelter, noting, "For safety reasons and for emergency reasons we definitely can know exactly how many people are on the campus as far as shelterees and of course employees that are manning the shelter, so we do want to keep track of everybody going in and out. So if they check out, you know they do have to come back and check in."

One evacuee says it is not safe at home, and talked about some of the necessities she brought to the shelter. "It wasn't safe for me, the water come to me, so the Park and Recs reforcer call them to drop me here," she told KUAM News. "Some of my clothes and my medicine and little water and little food."

Another evacuee spoke with us about why he came to the shelter, saying safety is not an issue here. "I am barely homeless so, don't wanna be outside in the typhoon," they said. "There is no issue about safety here."

As of just before news time, shelter capacity was still under 10%, and there is still time to get to a shelter. Please stay safe.
