Companies Pull Workers From Puerto Rico, But Many Residents Still Without Power

摘要

CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE in the effort to restore power and communications to Puerto Rico since last September, when Hurricane Maria devastated the island's power grid. According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), 1.1 million people-about 86 percent of the island's customers-have regained power, but hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans are still in the dark some six months after the hurricane. Now the USACE says it will begin a "responsible drawdown" of its workforce.
