As hurricane season officially began on Friday, June 1 in the Atlantic, many are asking if Puerto Rico is prepared in the instance something like Maria happens again. A lot of the preparation has revolved around the death toll numbers that have been reported from the island’s government and other studies. Public safety officials claim that there they have no reason to lie about the death toll and the studies they are carrying out to figure out the actual numbers and that because it is so high they are preparing for the worst this hurricane season. When the journalist of this article went to Puerto Rico she visited the FEMA warehouse, where she said there used to only be one, now there are four. They are stocked with tarps, water and cots and were sending a message from FEMA that they will have a plan in the instance something like Maria happens again. However, despite the appearance of being prepared, the mayor of Humacao stated that he feels his municipality is unprepared and that there is a disconnect between the government and the people.
