- US Democratic lawmakers pledge to help speed up disaster recovery in Puerto Rico
US Democratic lawmakers pledged to address delays in Puerto Rico's disaster recovery, including issues with federal funding approvals and FEMA staffing. The group met with mayors to discuss challenges caused by a policy requiring personal approval for large expenditures, which was later rescinded. Puerto Rico's recovery from hurricanes and earthquakes remains slow, with 30% of projects pending.
