A resident of San Isidro pleads with others to make room as U.S. soldiers prepare to pass out food
and water, provided by FEMA, to residents in a neighborhood without grid electricity or running water.
[...]
The federal government had time to deploy satellite phones to the island, to avoid the communications blackout that isolated remote areas from the territory’s government. It could have delivered reserves of food, fuel, and water in advance of the storm, allowing local officials to spread those vital resources throughout the territory before Maria lay waste to much of its trucking infrastructure. Instead, the president did almost nothing in the lead-up to the storm — and went on a four-day golf vacation in its immediate aftermath.
This inaction almost certainly cost some of the island’s (American) citizens their lives.
