I saw reported a few months ago that Puerto Rico got ten times the aid which the Florida Panhandle got and Michael was the more powerful hurricane.

Despite this they complained that they weren’t getting enough help.

Two important takeaways from the article.

Most American cities have an emergency fund which is used for immediate relief and FEMA reimburses later. Puerto Rico had no such emergency fund.

Before the hurricane 46% of those living in Puerto Rico were on welfare.
