Nebakenezzer posted:Apparently the entire island is without power. multiple sources says up to 3-6 months without it some people find it hard to believe but uhh, you haven't lived through hurricane flooding and trees/debris basically hammering infrastructure apart. Also with that unbelievable rainfall record, I can find it easy to believe that there won't be power for a while in a lot of areas just for the simple fact that it's all flooded and there's no access there.

We worked on the Hurricane document today and there are a whole mess of new PR resources to check out, including ways to get in touch with people who you haven't heard from. (Thank you to everyone who has been helping!) https://www.fema.gov/hurricane-maria directs you to the American Red Cross Safe and Well Website and Univision created this tool: http://www.univision.com/univision-news/united-states/find-updated-information-about-your-town-in-this-puerto-rico-search-engine Repeating this particular snippet of info: If you are in the U.S. and need to find your family: Write to Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration to maria1@prfaa.pr.gov. Due to the large volume of emails, do not send more than one unless the situation of your family member has changed. Call the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration: 202-800-3133 Call the radio station WIPR 787-777-0940 Call the Puerto Rico Family Institute at 212-414-7895. They are helping PRFAA because their lines are slammed. Just go through the recorded message and press any key. I want to point out this opportunity in particular that seems well suited to many goons: quote:Tech experts needed WrenP-Complete has issued a correction as of 01:20 on Sep 25, 2017 |

They're not helping Puerto Rico because they know that it will never rebuild. Climate change has made globally integrated, capitalistic life on that island non-viable and unprofitable. Puerto Rico is doomed; we can't see it now, but the island's population just began an irreversible decline that will last generations. Until some rich guy buys it and it becomes a billionaire pedophile safari getaway
