Pedro Pierluisi: “We are much better-prepared now than Puerto Rico was, five years ago, when we got hit by the Hurricane Maria.”

It should not be surprising that 105 years after becoming U.S. citizens by birth, Puerto Ricans want to vote for President and to have voting representation in Congress.

I am confident that we could reach that goal by 2025, because there are a lot of projects in the pipeline.

Exactly. That is why we are calling for Congress to authorize FEMA to adjust those fixed cost estimates due to the increase in the cost of construction materials and supply chain disruption.

Well, one thing FEMA is doing is actually funding a public affairs campaign, public education campaign, encouraging people to build up to code.
