Puerto Rico has received more than $626.7 million in funding from the U.S. government in the past month to manage the emergency brought on by back-to-back storms Hurricane Irma and María, Resident Commissioner Jenniffer González said.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded more than $500 million for survivor assistance, emergency work, and debris removal following hurricanes Irma and María, officials announced Sunday.
In the four weeks since Hurricane María made landfall on Puerto Rico, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and its federal and local partners, have been making progress in the nation’s most logistically complex response in FEMA history.
