Hurricane Maria has done extreme damage to the entire island of Puerto Rico. The most recent update, posted today, lays out the damage and how to possibly move forward. The whole island is without power and there is not a current idea of when power can be restored for the 3.4 million residents. Unfortunately, it could be months before the power is able to be repaired for some citizens and residents. The main port in San Juan is taking shipments of food and water to aid the victims of the hurricane. There is still one large dam that is at risk of collapsing, so there is a threat of more flooding to the island. Federal aid has been made available and many non profit organizations are taking donations to get monetary help and physical donations to the area.
