Puerto Rico Gov. to Trump: ‘You Responded Immediately,’ FEMA’s Been in Constant Contact
EXCERPT:
ROSELLO: “You responded immediately, sir, and you did so, you know, Tom and Brock, they have been on the phone with me essentially every day since the disaster. We recognize that there are some logistical limitations that we have in Puerto Rico. We didn’t have the airports open for a couple of days. We didn't have the airports working in full capacity until about a day or two ago. So that was always a very limiting step, but if you consider that we’ve gone even with those obstacles, we’ve gone about 15,000 DOD personnel in Puerto Rico, about 2,000 FEMA personnel, HHS and others, the response is there. Do we need to do a lot more? Of course we do. And I think everybody here recognizes there’s a lot of work to be done in Puerto Rico, but with your leadership sir and with everybody over here, we’re committed to achieve that in the long run.”
