Last month, I formally requested emergency assistance from FEMA to stabilize our power system by providing additional generation assets and accelerating work on our transmission and distribution grid.
We would like to be included in the SNAP program, and we are requesting that. It is only fair that we get the same nutrition assistance as our fellow American citizens in the States.
We are devoting $1.3 billion of CDBG-DR funding for microgrids, distributed energy initiatives in remote communities.
I am pleased to report that Puerto Rico is emerging from a challenging period with strength and optimism into a new era of stability evidenced by the island's economic upswing.
