El portavoz de FEMA Orlando Oliveras dijo que la declaración de Desastre Mayor que aprobó el presidente de los Estados Unidos, Joseph Biden, no es final y los municipios que al momento no se encuentran, serán incluídos.

“El pueblo de Puerto Rico fueron declarados 78 municipios para trabajos de emergencias. A pesar de que únicamente entraron 55 municipios y entendemos la molestia de nuestros alcaldes y alcaldesas, eso no significa que esa determinación sea final. Estamos trabajando arduamente con el Gobierno de Puerto Rico para poder continuar con ese análisis de daños para poder añadir más municipios a la declaración presidencial”, dijo Oliveras en conferencia de prensa.

“Quiero dejar claro que los 78 municipios fueron declarados para la categoría de emergencia que todavía debe ser la prioridad. Todos los trabajos son de categoría permanente, eso en su debido momento vamos a estar trabajando con eso”, añadió.

Por su parte, el secretario del Departamento de Estado, Omar Marrero Díaz, insistió en que el Gobierno hizo la solicitud para los 78 municipios.

Los municipios que entraron a la declaración aprobada por el presidente son:

Adjuntas, Aguas Buenas, Aibonito, Arroyo, Barranquitas, Bayamón, Caguas, Canóvanas, Carolina, Cataño, Cayey, Ceiba, Ciales, Cidra, Coamo, Comerío, Corozal, Dorado, Fajardo, Florida, Guayama, Guayanilla, Guaynabo, Gurabo, Humacao, Jayuya, Juana Díaz, Juncos, Lares, Las Piedras, Luquillo, Maricao, Maunabo, Morovis, Naguabo, Naranjito, Orocovis, Patillas, Peñuelas, Ponce, Río Grande, Salinas, San Juan, San Lorenzo, Santa Isabel, Toa Alta, Toa Baja, Trujillo Alto, Utuado, Vega Alta, Vega Baja, Vieques, Villalba, Yabucoa y Yauco.

CABINET NOTES

The Cabinet undertook a review of the impact of the storm, Fiona.

It resulted in the closure of schools and the cancellation of classes last Friday, September 16, 2022, and impacted electricity and water supply on Saturday and Sunday, 17 and 18 September 2022.

The Minister responsible for APUA gave a report indicating that no APUA employee/linesman was injured during the 48 hours passage of the storm, although the technicians were busy reconnecting electricity lines following high winds and downpours of rain.

All APUA electricity customers were reconnected by Monday morning.

APUA water customers were inconvenienced because of the absence of electricity to power the reverse osmosis plants and the turbidity of the seas.

Lots of sand and other debris, stirred-up because of the rough seas, caused the reverse osmosis plants to be turned off to prevent damage to the membranes and other sensitive parts.

APUA not only published a press statement but the Water Manager appeared on several radio stations to explain why water was temporarily suppressed.
