TL;DR

Guam is bracing for Super Typhoon Mawar, which is expected to bring torrential rains, life-threatening storm surge, and Category 4 hurricane-force winds. President Joe Biden has signed an emergency declaration to mobilize resources. The storm is expected to hit southern Guam around midday Wednesday, with the inner core crossing over the island as a powerful Category 4 or 5 equivalent storm. Evacuations of low-lying areas have been mandated, and loss of power and access to water is likely to last days, if not weeks, after the storm passes.
