Video shared by @anibalacevedo today. Some context. It is from Aug. 26, 2019. It shows Carlos Acevedo, now former emergency director, clearly stating that the gov't has 5 warehouses with plenty of relief supplies. Who is next to him?
@wandavazquezg gov of #PuertoRico. Wow.
@wandavazquezg gov of #PuertoRico. Wow.
@anibalacevedo @wandavazquezg This video would clearly dispute the claim that @wandavazquezg, the governor of #PuertoRico, didn't know about these warehouses. She is LITERALLY right next to Acevedo.
@anibalacevedo @wandavazquezg Now Elmer Román, Sec of State for Puerto Rico (also in the video) is saying that this was never about warehouses existing, it is about how these supplies were not distributed during #PuertoRicoEarthquakes. He is blaming this all on Acevedo. You can't make this up.

#PuertoRico still doesn't seem calm after so many #storms, and this Saturday there was a new 6.0 MI magnitude #earthquake on the momentum magnitude scale as part of a series of #aftershocks that have intensified since Friday night.
#PuertoRico still doesn't seem calm after so many #storms, and this Saturday there was a new 6.0 MI magnitude #earthquake on the momentum magnitude scale as part of a series of #aftershocks that have intensified since Friday night.
According to Prensa Latina, the meteorological phenomenon occurred in #Guánica, 14.87 kilometers south of #Peñuelas, at a depth of 5.04 kilometers.
On the other hand, the #NationalGuard of #PuertoRico considered declaring the island a #disaster area in order to receive additional funds after the #earthquakes.
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre la Declaración de Emergencia para Asistencia Federal Directa para #PuertoRico y la Declaración de Desastre Mayor firmada hoy por la gobernadora Wanda Vázquez? Abro hilo.👇🏼

El martes, el presidente de los Estados Unidos, @realDonaldTrump, firmó la Declaración de Emergencia para Asistencia Federal Directa, autorizando a @fema para asistir en las medidas de protección de emergencia (categoría B), bajo el programa de Asistencia Pública.
Estas medidas proveen asistencia para necesidades básicas como agua, catres y comida, y cubren en un 75% los gastos con fondos federales en los 78 municipios.
Since significant earthquakes tend to bring out the charlatans, a reminder: no one can PREDICT earthquakes.

Buena explicación para aquellos que necesitan o prefieren español:
Our herman@s in #PuertoRico need our help. 100s of earthquakes have rattled the island since late Dec. A 6.4 magnitude quake Tuesday caused severe destruction, killing at least 1, injuring more, damaging buildings + landmarks (incl Punta Ventana), and instilling fear in many.

Thousands, including families with young children, are now forced to sleep outside or in shelters, rather than in vulnerable or compromised structures. Our prayers are with the resilient Puerto Rican people in the wake of yet another tragedy.

Millions of U.S. citizens continue to be literally & metaphorically shaken by ongoing quakes. Due to damage to a major power plant, the island was once again without electricity, reminiscent of the prolonged blackout and emergency situation that followed Hurricane Maria. 3/

My family still doesn't have electricity or running water, and they are some of the lucky ones. So many are still living outdoors.
