À propos de cet audio

 In this overview of Hurricane Maria's impact on Puerto Rico, we've delved into the catastrophic aftermath of one of the 21st century's most devastating natural disasters. From the immediate and widespread damage to infrastructure, housing, and key economic sectors, to the prolonged humanitarian crisis characterized by utility outages, healthcare system strain, and food and water shortages, the scale of devastation was unprecedented. Critiques of the delayed and inadequate U.S. response highlighted the need for more effective disaster strategies, especially for U.S. territories. The long-term economic and social impacts, including the challenges of gentrification, displacement, and rebuilding efforts, underscored the deep vulnerabilities exposed by the hurricane. However, amidst these challenges, the remarkable resilience of the Puerto Rican people shone through, with community-led initiatives, innovative solutions, and a strong focus on cultural preservation and social cohesion paving the way for recovery.
