Guam is ramping up preparations ahead of Typhoon Sinlaku, with key updates from government and emergency officials.

Guam is expected to enter COR 2 and TCCOR 2 at 5 p.m. today, as tropical storm conditions are anticipated within 24 hours. Winds of 39 to 73 mph are expected, and the potential for stronger typhoon conditions still possible depending on the storm’s track.

Officials say tropical storm-force winds could begin as early as Monday evening and may last through Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Governor Lou Leon Guerrero has signed emergency legislation approving up to $25 million to support response efforts, including public safety, health services, shelters, and infrastructure. Funding will also go directly to mayors for immediate community needs.

The Guam Fire Department is also temporarily waiving fire permit requirements for limited fuel storage. Residents can store up to 20 gallons of gasoline or diesel without a permit through April 30—but must follow safety guidelines:

* Use approved containers

* Store fuel in well-ventilated areas away from heat

* Keep out of reach of children

* Avoid overfilling
