On September 18, 2022, Hurricane Fiona, a Category 1 storm, made landfall in southwestern Puerto Rico.
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rick Scott (R-FL), along with U.S. Representative Jennifer González-Colón (R-PR), sent a letter to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Deanne Criswell urging her to prioritize the recovery of Puerto Rico following Hurricane Fiona’s devastating impacts.
“At a time when Puerto Rico is still recovering from the widespread destruction caused by Hurricane Maria, which completely devastated the island just five years ago, Hurricane Fiona’s heavy rains produced catastrophic flooding, widespread power outages, and other life-threatening impacts to the island’s critical infrastructure.”
“With the President’s approval of the Emergency Disaster Declaration, and expected Major Disaster Declaration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is now authorized to provide federal resources to support and coordinate the island’s response. With many of the severe consequences of this storm still unfolding, we write in support of an immediate assessment of the situation and deployment of FEMA resources, personnel, and supplies. This will alleviate unnecessary delays in facilitating the recovery efforts as access to critical resources begin to dwindle.”

El 18 de septiembre del 2022, el Huracán Fiona, una tormenta Categoría 1, tocó tierra en el suroeste de Puerto Rico.
Los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Rick Scott (R-FL), junto a la representante estadounidense Jennifer González-Colón (R-PR), le enviaron una carta a la administradora de la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA, por sus siglas en inglés), Deanne Criswell, instandola a priorizar la recuperación de Puerto Rico luego de los devastadores impactos del Huracán Fiona.
“En un momento en que Puerto Rico todavía se está recuperando de la destrucción causada por el Huracán María, que devastó por completo la isla hace solo cinco años, las fuertes lluvias del Huracán Fiona produjeron inundaciones catastróficas, apagones generalizados, y otros impactos de vida o muerte que amenazaron la infraestructura crítica de la isla”.
“Con la aprobación del Presidente de la Declaración de Desastre de Emergencia y la Declaración de Desastre Mayor, la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA) ahora está autorizada a proporcionar recursos federales para apoyar y coordinar la respuesta hacia la isla. Con muchas de las graves consecuencias de esta tormenta aún desarrollándose, escribimos para apoyar una evaluación inmediata de la situación y el despliegue de recursos, personal y suministros de FEMA. Esto aliviará los retrasos innecesarios para facilitar los esfuerzos de recuperación a medida que el acceso a los recursos críticos comienzan a disminuir”.
