 For Guam, tropical storms and typhoons can occur any time of the year. The potential for damage and injuries to people can be high due to the destructive winds and large amounts of rainfall that occurred during the storms. Typhoon Exercise PogZoo integrates all command and control center efforts across the island and tests the effectiveness of current emergency management procedures before, during and after a typhoon. We need to make sure that we are prepared for any type of situation and stuff that a typhoon can actually bring to the base or any other type of situation and stuff During Exercise PogZoo, events were held to test the communication and response times of emergency services. The purpose of Typhoon Exercise PogZoo is to ensure military personnel and civilians on Guam are prepared for and can continue operations in the event of a typhoon.
