SPRINGFIELD, MA – Congressman Richard E. Neal released the following statement today on the six month anniversary of Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico.
“Today marks six months after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. It quickly became the island’s most destructive storm in decades. The US Army Corps of Engineers estimates that 1 in 10 customers still will not have power by the end of March. This prevents individuals from restarting their lives, accessing health services, ensuring their children are back to school, and getting clean water. We must do more to ensure that necessary funding and supplies continue to flow to the island rapidly and efficiently.”
