Hurricane Maria was the strongest hurricane to make landfall in Puerto Rico since 1928. As of October 8, the hurricane has caused at least 81 deaths: 36 in Puerto Rico, 30 in Dominica, 5 in the Dominican Republic, 4 in the contiguous United States, 3 in Haiti, 2 in Guadeloupe, and 1 in the United States Virgin Islands. Puerto Rico has suffered catastrophic damage, including destruction of its previously damaged electrical grid. On October 6, a little more than two weeks after the hurricane, 89% still had no power in Puerto Rico, 44% had no water service, and 58% had no cell service.

A hurricane that hit Puerto Rico on Sunday has left at least one person dead and millions of the island’s residents without power or running water. Hurricane Fiona, this season’s sixth named storm, is only the third to transform from a tropical storm into a hurricane since the Atlantic hurricane season started in June. The Category 1 hurricane brought sustained winds topping 85 mph and torrential rainfalls, with some regions receiving up to 25 inches, triggering floods and mudslides. It also caused an islandwide blackout. More than 1.3 million customers were still without power as of midday Monday. Puerto Rico Gov. Pedro Pierluisi said power had been restored to more than 100,000 users as of Monday afternoon and estimated the outage should not last longer than a few days. Fiona made landfall in the U.S. territory two days before the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Maria. Puerto Rican officials say the island’s power grid and infrastructure are still recovering from the devastation caused by Maria, which knocked out power for almost a year in some places and created the largest blackout in U.S. history. source: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/how-to-help-victims-of-hurricane-fiona-in-puerto-rico

Hurricane Fiona made landfall in Puerto Rico on September 18th, causing ongoing catastrophic flooding, total loss of power and devastation throughout the island. This Fund is comprised of pre-vetted nonprofits providing emergency disaster response to Puerto Ricans in need. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations’ initiatives to provide short-term and long-term response and recovery. We have initially selected organizations that are on the ground assisting with immediate relief needs, including rescue efforts and medical assistance. The composition of nonprofits in this Fund is subject to change as we learn more about the needs on the ground.

Why support is needed? In mid-September, Hurricane Fiona hit Puerto Rico as a Category 1 storm, causing widespread damage. Residents were faced with severe flooding, mud, rock, and landslides, and loss of power, communications, and access to potable water according to FEMA. Residents are still dealing with the fallout and struggling to return to safe living conditions.
