The AFL-CIO, the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, the Air Line Pilots Association, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and United Airlines teamed up to fly more than 300 first responders and skilled volunteers — including nurses, doctors, electricians, engineers, carpenters and truck drivers — to Puerto Rico to help with relief and rebuilding efforts.
The Center for a New Economy, through its recently created Puerto Rico Recovery Fund has established a network of 10 distribution centers islandwide to quickly distribute the emergency supplies the entity has collected and will continue to collect in the island and the mainland United States for communities devastated by Hurricane Maria.
In response to the severe and extensive damage caused by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and María, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") has made $1 billion in disaster relief funding available to its members to help rebuild communities in FEMA-designated disaster areas in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Florida, Texas and the Southeast.
