One Year Later, PROTECT and CRECE Researchers Investigate the Health Impacts of Hurricane Maria
One year ago, on September 20th, 2017, Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico as a Category 4 hurricane and proceeded cross the island from the southeast to the northwest, leaving devastation in its wake. In the weeks and months that followed, PROTECT and CRECE team members in Puerto Rico reached out to provide essential supplies—including diapers, baby formula, mosquito nets, and more—as well as water filtration systems to the local communities.
While significant improvements have occurred, life is still far from normal in Puerto Rico.
