Preparedness is Power: Tech Essentials to Help You Weather Any Storm

Do you remember the last typhoon?  

First the lights go out, then the water, and lastly your services. And just like that, you’re isolated—you can’t check on friends, family, or your team. You’re left wondering how everyone is doing and what's coming next.  

September is National Preparedness Month and in Guam that means it's not only a reminder—it's a call to action. With typhoons being so common in Guam, preparation is key. And while canned goods and water reserves are still essential, being prepared today means going beyond the basics. It’s about staying powered, connected and informed.  

Why Tech Belongs in Your Emergency Kit 

When the winds pick up and the power lines go down, your ability to communicate and access information becomes critical. Whether it’s checking in with loved ones, receiving emergency alerts, or keeping your business running, the right tech tools can make all the difference. And with Guam’s unique challenges, we need solutions that are built for island life and storm resilience. 

Tech You’ll Want on Hand 

Here are a few smart additions to your emergency kit that can help keep you connected:  

• Portable Power Stations: These compact, rechargeable units can power devices and even small appliances. They’re perfect for multi-day outages when you need more than a quick charge. 

• Power Banks: Simple, affordable, and essential. Keep a few charged and ready to go so your devices stay alive when you need them most. 

• Internet Backup Solutions: Staying online during a storm isn’t just about convenience—it’s about being able to keep things running. Backup internet options can help your operations continue so you never miss a step. Most internet backups leverage the mobile network, which has the infrastructure to weather storms and stay online.
