So there has been a lot of talk on status of Puerto Rico as well as relief, support, communication, power and politics of what is going on. I am starting this because I really feel it should be done. I hope for anyone who has family or friends in PR that they are ok and doing what they can to stay safe. Please continue.

I know my Senator is very much calling for more action, but I’m wondering if there are specific things I need to say/ask for when I call Senators or congress people. Is it just “more help for PR” or anything more specific. I saw that the Jones waiver expired is there any chance that can be waived again?

NPR reporting this morning that the Army Corp Of Engineers won't be able to have power back to 100% on the island till next spring. New contracts signed to get things moving faster.
I want to know... Where is the cross network pledge drive we did for Houston/Florida for PR?

My husband is going down to PR with a FEMA team through his job. They will be there for 15 days. Hopefully they will be able to provide a lot of help. He has an entire suitcase of medical supplies coming with him.
