Hatteras Island visitor evacuation holds as nor’easter stalls; CISA remediation deadline arrives for BeyondTrust and Fortinet flaws

Guam enters its first full day of organized recovery from Super Typhoon Champi, with 90 percent of transmission restored, all 30 substations energized and about 70 percent of distribution feeders carrying load, while schools stay closed and the port holds waterside operations under Condition ZULU. On the Atlantic coast, a stalled nor’easter keeps a mandatory visitor evacuation and a state of emergency in force on Hatteras Island, with 2 to 4 feet of coastal inundation forecast through Tuesday. Today also brings the federal remediation deadline for two Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog entries that carry a forensic triage requirement. Plus Interior Alaska winter storm warnings and a southeast Alaska atmospheric river, a lowered Kilauea alert level, containment progress on California’s Jade Fire, and river flooding in Florida and Georgia. EM Morning Brief is your concise daily update on national and state-by-state emergency management news. An EOC Voices podcast. Key Takeaways • Guam lifelines. Power restoration has reached about 70 percent of distribution feeders with all substations energized, but peak demand at 52 percent of normal signals how much load is still off. Generators for water wells and wastewater facilities are a named restoration priority. • Guam access and operations. Schools remain closed to students, government agencies are open with reduced services, and dark traffic signals require all-way stop discipline with police and National Guard support at major intersections. • Guam port. Cargo release has resumed at the gatehouse, but waterside operations are suspended under Port Heavy Weather Condition ZULU pending Coast Guard Captain of the Port clearance, which constrains resupply timing. • Outer Banks evacuation. The mandatory visitor evacuation and state of emergency on Hatteras Island are driven by the risk of an extended N.C. Highway 12 closure, not by a single tide cycle. Re-entry depends on roadway condition, and planners should expect a multi-day hold. • Coastal flooding timeline. Two to four feet of inundation above ground level is forecast for Hatteras and Ocracoke through Tuesday evening, with soundside flooding already underway in Hatteras Village. • Cyber remediation deadline. Today is the BOD 26-04 due date for the BeyondTrust Remote Support and Fortinet catalog entries, both flagged for forensic triage. Agencies and partner jurisdictions running these products should confirm patch status and triage evidence collection. • Alaska winter and water. Interior snow totals of up to 36 inches in the Eastern Alaska Range will degrade highway travel and resource movement, while an atmospheric river brings a flood and high wind threat to Juneau, Yakutat, Glacier Bay and Skagway. • Volcano posture. Kilauea has stepped down to Advisory with the eruption paused, while Great Sitkin stays at Watch with continuing lava effusion, a reminder that aviation color codes drive flight operations in the Aleutians. • Fire exposure at low preparedness. The national system is at Preparedness Level 1, yet the Henderson, Norte, Sisi, Ridge and Black River fires all carry structure or infrastructure exposure, so local initial attack capacity still matters. • Water system notice pending. Monroe County, Georgia will place affected customers under a boil water advisory once service is restored after a 16-inch main repair, a routine but actionable public information task. Sponsors B.
