For people living on the island of Puerto Rico after Hurricanes Irma and Maria, survival became a way of life. Three weeks after the hurricane and only 6% of people had electricity, only half had water, and it was not drinkable water – people were being urged to boil water.
The grocery stores were mostly still empty and people were finding it difficult to find bottled water. Most people did not have any means of communication – no cellular service and no landlines, and certainly no t.v. or cable internet connection.
This is why it important to have resources and tools for survival on hand before the next storm strikes. We have put together a list of tools that people can use to get back on their feet and sustain themselves as well as information and news about where to find these resources on the island.
