Puerto Rico Governor: In Spite of Limitations, Everyone Is ‘All Hands on Deck’ to Help

‘That’s what’s important’

EXCERPT:

ROSSELLO: "Well, it is a limitation of the logistic support, informing good news. We are increasing those capabilities, but within the limitations, everybody has all hands on deck. That’s what’s important. And recognizing that, you know, the different components of the National Guard, the military, FEMA and our government are working together on the priorities. Certainly, Chris, there is a lot of work to do over here. We really need to increase the delivery rates. We really need to enhance our logistics. But also from that side, I have to say that the administration has responded to our petitions. FEMA, Brock Long has been on the phone virtually all the time with me, checking out how things are going. This morning alone I had a conversation with our generals seeing how much of the capabilities, and we are increasing about more than 1,000 personnel that’s coming over here just on the generals and militia side. And we are also starting to get help from New York and New Jersey as well as other 17 states."
