Hurricane season starts in exactly two weeks, prompting worries that the island — still in recovery mode from Hurricane Maria — is not ready to face another storm season.
On Tuesday, several members of the Power 4 Puerto Rico coalition, comprised of several non-profits and advocacy groups issued a warning to the federal government, concerned that much of the island's existing challenges after Hurricane Maria will repeat themselves in the event of another hurricane.
Throughout the eight months following Hurricane Maria, there have been issues surrounding FEMA's recovery efforts, including questions about botched meal contracts, delayed emergency response , and the high numbers of denied aid applications to rebuild homes.
“One thing is evident at the core of the response,” said Ana Maria Archila, co-executive director at the Center for Popular Democracy and a part of the Power 4 Puerto Rico coalition. “There is a crisis of democracy. The federal government is acting as if the people of Puerto Rico are not constituents.”

Let me tell you what happened after the storm.
Our president went down to Puerto Rico and threw rolls of paper towels to the people. After that he chose to not fund
these beautiful people and many died in desolate conditions. No money was ever put aside to help them from the emergency from the storm.His first total tragedy. To this
day people are still suffering and Puerto Rico is still suffering. This is Donald Trumps fault. Help us Lord from the Storm of Trump onto the people and to our
little chldren. Lord help s all. Until later...
