Abstract:
The Guam Civil Defense Act of 1951 serves as the basis for emergency management efforts in Guam. The lieutenant governor’s office serves as clearinghouse for all programs and projects related to recovery after a natural disaster. Continuity of government is not addressed outside traditional legislation addressing vacancies.
