17:30.
Federal Emergency Management Agency spokesman David Gervino said a military plane was bringing food, water, tarpaulins and other supplies to help the North to deal with the consequences of a large typhoon.
Gervino said FEMA already had significant water and food resources in place before the passage of the Super Typhoon Yutu.
He has stocked more than 220,000 liters of water and 260,000 stable meals in a distribution center near Guam to prepare for Typhoon Mangkhut, which struck last month.
But the effects of Mangkhut proved to be less serious than expected, so FEMA left reservations.
Gervino explains that FEMA is also committed to restoring power, opening sea and air ports, and ensuring that cell towers can run on standby power until power comes back from public service. .
