Puerto Rico: Sending Immediate Help and Assessing the Situation
Hurricane Maria inflicted unparalleled devastation on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. UPS is doing everything it can to help, but there are many challenges that prevent resuming normal operations. These issues include the island-wide power outages, a fuel shortage, impassable roads, and a damaged communications infrastructure. Even drinking water is an increasingly difficult situation.
While all of these issues restrict our ability to resume operation on the island, UPS is working day and night to support recovery efforts. The San Juan airport is operating on very limited resources and flight schedules, prioritizing flights for humanitarian aid. While we cannot yet distribute personal or commercial shipments, we are making regular flights for FEMA and the CDC to get critical supplies to those in need.
