    U.S. Coast Guard crews in Guam apply sandbags to prepare for Typhoon Bavi (09W) on July 2, 2026, now forecast to rapidly intensify as it tracks toward the Marianas. The team continues to secure the base, haul out and trailer the small boats at the station, and prepare cutters to get underway ahead of the storm. Cutters depart to ride out the weather safely and return to respond once it's safe, but that means on-water response is reduced before, during, and right after Bavi. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Lt.

    A male worker wearing a dark blue uniform and cap is working on a louvered window or shutter system mounted on the exterior of a concrete block building. He appears to be adjusting, installing, or repairing the white aluminum jalousie-style panels. The building exterior shows signs of weathering, mold, and staining on the concrete masonry walls.
    Two personnel wearing green hard hats and dark uniforms marked 'USCG' (United States Coast Guard) are walking through an extremely heavy rainstorm. They are carrying equipment and moving across a paved area near a building with a large tree, chain-link fence, and a utility vehicle visible in the background. The torrential rain significantly reduces visibility and dominates the visual atmosphere of the image.
    Several U.S. Coast Guard personnel are unloading or handling sandbags from a diesel 4x4 utility vehicle near a building. At least two individuals are wearing blue USCG uniforms with caps bearing Coast Guard insignia, while a third person in civilian-style work overalls assists. The setting appears to be a Coast Guard installation in a tropical location, likely during storm or flood preparedness operations.
    The image shows a secured port facility with a large orange/yellow crane labeled 'BULL OF THE PACIFIC' positioned alongside what appears to be a U.S. Coast Guard vessel. The facility is protected by a chain-link fence topped with razor wire, and personnel are visible on the dock. The scene is photographed in overcast, rainy conditions.
    A Toyota forklift operated by a worker in a red shirt is driving across a paved area in front of a low white building labeled 'BLDG. 2'. Multiple flags are displayed on a tall flagpole, including the U.S. flag, a POW/MIA flag, what appears to be the Guam flag, and additional flags. The tropical setting with palm trees, a decorative anchor chain, and a white animal statue suggests a U.S. military installation, likely on Guam.
    The image is taken through a chain-link fence at what appears to be a Coast Guard or military maritime base. Several white vessels are docked at a pier, and personnel in blue uniforms are handling yellow equipment on the dock. A white fuel or utility truck is visible on the tarmac between the vessels.
    A United States Coast Guard (USCG) personnel is walking toward a docked white vessel at a port facility under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. A white tanker/fuel truck is parked alongside the vessel on the pier. The scene depicts a routine dockside operation, likely involving fueling or resupply of the Coast Guard cutter.
    A group of approximately 20-25 uniformed personnel, identifiable as U.S. Coast Guard members based on visible 'USCG' markings on uniforms, are gathered under an outdoor covered pavilion. A bald individual with his back to the camera appears to be addressing the group in what looks like a briefing or formation. The setting appears to be a Coast Guard station or base, with palm trees and institutional buildings visible in the background under overcast skies.
    Two workers in dark uniforms and caps are handling a large yellow oil containment boom along a chain-link fence at what appears to be a port or harbor facility. The boom is being laid out or retrieved along the grassy side of the fence. A white truck and a vessel with a mast are visible in the background on the dock area.
    The image shows a painted white goat statue in the foreground bearing the United States Coast Guard seal and the text 'SECTOR GUAM,' located at a Coast Guard installation in Guam. In the background, a parking lot with various vehicles is visible, along with personnel, a utility cart, buildings, tropical trees, and a Coast Guard cutter vessel docked at a pier. The scene suggests an active military/Coast Guard base in a tropical Pacific Island setting.
    A civilian instructor or speaker in a colorful Hawaiian-style shirt and khaki pants addresses a group of approximately 12-15 uniformed personnel under an outdoor covered pavilion. The uniformed individuals appear to be wearing dark navy blue uniforms consistent with U.S. Coast Guard attire. The setting appears to be a military or government installation, with palm trees and manicured grounds visible in the background during overcast, rainy conditions.
