(Guam Power Authority)–Once again, Guam Power Authority advises the public that it will continue to run the island wide power system and keep the power on for as long as possible. GPA crews are working around the clock in 12- hour shifts to address power problems, up to the point when supervisors out in the field state it is no longer safe to do so and crews will be secured. Again, as the typhoon winds pick up, we will eventually have to secure all personnel for safety reasons.
Immediately after passage of the storm and once high winds die down to a safe level, Guam Power Authority crews will resume addressing power problems. Please report any power related emergencies or down power lines to our 24-hour Trouble Dispatch at 475-1472/73/74 or direct message on GPA’s Facebook page. Please provide exact location or address, contact information and condition of location. GPA continues to advise the public to please stay away from all down lines and equipment as they may still be energized and can cause harm if you come in contact with the lines or equipment. Consider such situations as dangerous and life threatening.
Customers are also advised that if you are experiencing power fluctuations, brownouts, extremely bright lights, or dimming/flickering lights to turn off your main breaker and report these issues to GPA’s 24-hour Trouble Dispatch.
Again, our GPA team is prepared to immediately begin restoration as soon as winds decrease to safe levels. GPA wants everyone to stay safe and secure and we ask for your patience and understanding as we get through the storm together.
