 U.S. Naval Base Guam kept its commitment to supporting service members during this year's Typhoon Paxu exercise. While the operational portion of the exercise was simulated, a full-scale emergency family assistance center was assembled to showcase the post-disaster efforts of the Navy. The exercise Typhoon Paxu is our annual Typhoon Preparedness and Recovery exercise. We utilize this time every year to work with our DOD partners and also work in conjunction with our local government partners to run through our various checklists of preparation and then also work through some events where we actually recover from damage from typhoons and different scenarios that we would be encountered with post-typhoon. The EFAC is the Emergency Family Assistance Center and it's set up to support the military family with a large list of support mechanisms to include administrative support, counseling support, legal support, etc. I need a place to stay, my house got flooded out. I feel much better knowing that there's programs available for sailors in trouble after natural disasters. It's very important since I'm over here by myself and I don't have much family to support and there's a lot of support here. A lot of programs to keep everyone's morale up and look out for everyone's well-being. For Jordan Region Marianas, I'm Petty Officer Corwin Colbert.
