“Five years after Hurricane Maria, the people on the island of Puerto Rico have once again been devastated by another hurricane in Fiona that has only reopened the wounds of multiple past disasters and unfulfilled commitments to recovery from them. Our city shares a unique and close relationship with Puerto Rico, and it’s critical that commitments to relief efforts on the island are fulfilled. The Council will be an active contributor to the ongoing recovery that provides aid to the residents of Puerto Rico and advocacy for the appropriate policies and resources that support it.”
