Energy Emergency Preparedness

Like me, you have probably wondering why the Dept. of Homeland Security has delayed reporting the Energy Emergency Preparedness plan. If the power goes out in Guam, what is proposed for the safety of the island? Wasn't the plan supposed to be done around now.

I checked into it...

Hafa Adai Mr. Silverstein:

This is in response to your inquiry regarding the above caption.

To date, the Energy Emergeny Preparedness Plan is at its final draft. Unfortunately, due to the Guam Administrative Rules relating to "Procurement Control, Distribution, and Sale of Petroleum Products During Fuel Shortage", a draft was forwarded to Senator Espaldon's office for reveiw andimplementation under the Guam Administrative Rules for Guam Energy Office.

The Senator's office is now working on it and will get back to me as soon as possible. After this process, the final Energy Emergency Preparedness Plan will be forwarded to Homeland Security Office of Civil Defense for the final publication to be incorporated into the Territory Emergency Disaster Preparedness Plan. We will be communicating with Homeland Security Office of Civil Defense regarding the distribution to the general public. I'm almost sure that you might be able to access this manual electronically on the Homeland Security Office of Civil Defense website as it becomes available.

If you have any further information regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
