A group of business organizations in Puerto Rico’s entrepreneurial ecosystem have joined forces to launch "Raise Your Business PR" campaign to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of all business sectors to take the necessary actions after the impact of Hurricane María.
Employees or self-employed individuals — who lost their livelihood as a direct consequence of Hurricane Irma or Hurricane Maria — may be eligible for Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA).
Over the next several months, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Department of Energy, and private industry will unite to restore emergency power to Puerto Rico’s electric grid, which was heavily damaged by hurricanes Irma and María, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said.
