Create 2 Resiliency Centers in Cano Martin Pena
Organization information
G-8, Grupo de las Ocho Comunidades Aledañas al Caño Martín Peña
Location: San Juan, Puerto Rico
Summary
Hurricane Maria took down Puerto Rico's entire power system. There was no water, power or communications. Cano Martin Pena's community organizations performed disaster recovery without adequate resources. After Maria, Puerto Rico's government shut down 400+ schools island-wide, leaving empty buildings subject to blight. We will rescue 2 schools and create solidary-community kitchens/resiliency centers to be available during emergencies, empowering people to perform grassroots disaster recovery.
