    Citizens of Puerto Rico raided a government warehouse last month that was stocked with emergency supplies, but had gone unused since Hurricane Maria in 2017. The discovery of the full warehouse shocked and angered citizens, as it came during another natural disaster where people needed shelter and aid. In response, Puerto Rico's Governor fired two officials responsible for the housing department, saying she was unaware of the warehouse and disappointed that the supplies had not been distributed to those in need. Proper reporting and coordination of relief aid is crucial to Puerto Rico's stability during natural disasters.

    Puerto Rico has been struggling since the massive devastation caused by Hurricane Maria

    in 2017. However, they keep getting hit by large natural disasters, just recently an earthquake

    that caused millions to need shelter and supplies. The shortage of supplies in Puerto Rico during

    these disasters has been publicized and the government has received backlash for the warehouses

    having no supplies.

    Last month, a video of citizens raiding a warehouse was posted on Facebook, receiving

    immediate feedback. The video shows a warehouse stocked full of supplies in an area where

    people were seeking shelter due to the earthquake. This shocked citizens, enraging them and

    ensuing a rage parade on Pertorican officials. The Governor Wanda Vázquez fired Fernando Gil

    and Glorimar Andújar who were part of the housing and family department due to these events.

    She said she was not aware of this warehouse and is disappointed that this happened. These

    workers were not doing their jobs and did not report that these supplies were in this warehouse.

    In order for there to be a stable system within Puerto Rico everyone needs to be doing their jobs

    correctly or it could mean the death of a mass amount of people.
