FEMA Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power (STEP)
In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused catastrophic and widespread damage to the island of Puerto Rico. Hurricane Maria, a Category 5 storm with 150 mph winds, struck just two weeks after Hurricane Irma and left Puerto Rico with a 100% power outage, nearly 100% loss of telecommunications, and severe damage to the island’s infrastructure. Tens of thousands of homes were damaged or destroyed, creating an immediate need for shelter.
