There are typhoons in Guam, but I wouldn't say that they occur

that frequently. They certainly happen alot less than the tornados we've been having stateside! Some of the houses there have typhoon "shelters" of sorts and there may be local public shelters, however I'm not sure. The authorities do issue

typhoon preparedness instructions which usually include stocking up on food, batteries and especially water. The last really bad typhoon there that I remember hearing about was in 1976. The island was w/out running water and electicity for months. By the way Guam is also subject to earthquakes, however damage is usually very minimal as they tend to occur at sea level. Another interesting point (althought you didn't ask) is that Guam is actually the tip of a dormant volcano which lies underwater! The island is 30 miles long and 10 miles wide at its widest point.

It's really easy invest in getting a generator; this comes in real handy when your in a typhoon and there's no power. Plus we get power outages all the time so you need one anyway. Then you just need canned foods, and water bottles, you can fill your bath tub w/ water too, so you can have plenty of water. Usually if there's a typhoon on it's way there's a warning and they'll give you tips on what to do. But you'll also need cardboard to board up your windows and stuff depending on how severe the typhoon is supposed to be.
