This seems to indicate that it will be 4-6 months until things get back to
normal, if there indeed is a huge effort to do so.
"But as first responders on the ground in Puerto Rico told Fernández

relief package for Puerto Rico to give FEMA and the island more money to
rebuild. He could deploy more military resources to help with search and
rescue operations."
