POWER 4 PUERTO RICO ON 6.4 EARTHQUAKE THAT HIT THE ISLAND THIS MORNING

The Power 4 Puerto Rico coalition issued the following statement:

“We are alarmed by the magnitude of the 6.4 earthquake that shook the island earlier this morning and the series of aftershocks that followed in what has been, so far, two weeks of tremors. We are also alarmed by the lack of a substantive response from federal agencies to this emergency. Patients had to be evacuated from hospitals, a school building collapsed and the island is without power. Immediate assistance is needed from FEMA to support vulnerable populations.
