PAG313233343536Expand/Improve the network of available rain gauges and rivergauges in order to enable improved mitigation against erosion. Thereis a need for 10 additional rain gauges and 5 additional stream gauges.These gauges should have both data-logging and real-time telemetrycapability.Install a wave-rider ocean wave buoy in southwestern Guam off-shorewaters to mitigate against coastal erosion. The existing ocean wavebuoy off Ipan Talofofo cannot detect waves on the west side of Guam,and a similar buoy planned for northwest Guam will not be able todetect the most critical waves affecting the Agat to Merizo area due toblockage by Orote Point.Install typhoon shutters and appropriately protected roll-up doors onall emergency services buildings such as fire and police stations notequipped with these features.Acquire, retrofit, and install back-up power and water systems for allemergency services buildings such as fire and police stations notequipped with these features.Remove the large storefront windows located at the Front CourtyardAreas of the Hospital along the 1 st and 2 nd floor main corridors inorder to limit water seepage during heavy rains and tropical cyclonesthat cause slippery, unsafe conditions in the 1 st and 2 nd floor maincorridors.Install typhoon shutters in the SNU in Barrigada in order to mitigateagainst tropical cyclones.Department ofAgriculture$250,000 HMGP/PDM/ PortModernization FundsTBDTBD1-3 years$200,000 HMGP/PDM 1-2 yearsBSP $125,000 HMGP/PDM 6 monthsGuam FireDepartment, GuamPolice DepartmentGuam FireDepartment, GuamPolice Department$500,000 HMGP/PDM [1-2 yearsTBD HMGP/PDM TBDGMHA $575,000 HMGP/PDM 1 yearGMHA $200,000 HMGP/PDM 6 months – 1 year6-24
