A little good news for Guam: Typhoon Mawar has weakened after undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle. Also, while the ocean water is very warm, the middle atmosphere ahead of Mawar is rather dry.
The doom and gloom, global warming crowd will be upset.

Unlike the Gulf south, Guam is quite mountainous. There will be damage and maybe mudslides, but the mountains provide a pretty good level of shelter from storm surge and in line high winds. I have a childhood friend that was born there when his dad was in the service. Could have been me.

Typhoons are hurricanes in the Indian and western Pacific Ocean

Cyclone in the Indian Ocean and all of the southern hemisphere iirc.
Typhoon for the West Pac. Hurricanes for the E Pac and Atlantic.

Where is Guam and does fema have to fix it?
Since it is a US territory, FEMA would give similar support to any US State after a disaster.

That is correct with the exception of the whole southern hemisphere part. Anything Atlantic is ts/hurricane.

Do they evacuate everyone off the island or do they just all ride it out?
But the good news is that for many years, their construction specs have required steel reinforced concrete with very strong shutters, so they can handle very high winds. Most structures are high up on volcanic rock away from storm surge and most of the land drains pretty readily.
Land slides are a big concern in heavy rains.
The fewer low lying areas with older stick built structures will takes a beating.

Yep, and Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance will be the only one providing coverage for them afterwards.
