Hurricane Maria recovery efforts

Hurricane Maria’s recovery involved repairing infrastructure, restoring power, and providing essential services to Puerto Rico. The federal and local governments coordinated efforts to restore electricity, fetch clean water, and rebuild homes and hospitals damaged by the storm. Aid organizations distributed supplies like food, medicine, and temporary shelters. Long-term recovery focused on strengthening infrastructure, improving disaster preparedness, and boosting economic and community resilience to better withstand future storms. The process was complex and ongoing, requiring collaboration among agencies, communities, and volunteers to restore normalcy and promote sustainable development.
