WASHINGTON ― At least 34 people are dead. Most people don’t have access to water, food, power or medicine. There’s next to no cell service. Roads have been totally washed away or blocked by debris. This is life right now in Puerto Rico, where 3.4 million Americans are struggling to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Maria.

Local officials have described the scene as “apocalyptic.” The mayor of San Juan has been literally begging people to speed up help to “save us from dying.” And just two weeks before Maria hit, Hurricane Irma blew through and caused as much as $1 billion in damages to the island.

A lot of mainland Americans don’t realize that Puerto Ricans are Americans. FEMA and the U.S. Coast Guard have been providing some resources to the island, but Puerto Ricans and military leaders on the ground say the Trump administration’s efforts are falling short. If you want to lend a hand to a fellow American in need, there are easy ways to kick in a few bucks.

What else can you do?

The Puerto Rican government issued a guide that lists the emergency supplies it needs the most. They include things like bottled water, baby wipes, hand sanitizer, first-aid kits and towels. It also needs construction supplies like extension cords, crowbars and safety glasses. National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters, or VOAD, is coordinating donations here.

Once roads are more cleared and the situation is a bit more stable, Puerto Rico will need volunteer help. VOAD can help match you with organizations that already have efforts underway.
