The School of Architects and Landscape Architects of Puerto Rico (CAAPPR in Spanish) and the School of Engineers and Surveyors of Puerto Rico (CIAPR) have partnered to deliver an “urgent” message about the importance of hiring professionals with technical expertise to build safe housing and structures to withstand the brunt of a Hurricane María-type storm.
