Puerto Rico's libraries, archives and museums road to recovery: A timeline of events after Hurricane Maria

Activities

The impact of the Hurricane went beyond those first dates. As conditions worsen through the months with unstable environment and mold outbreaks due to the continuos power outages, intense filtrations caused by the lack of proper waterproof membranes (destroyed by the winds) and the slow response from the local authorities more saw the importance of developing specialized workshops and orientation activities. At least 17 different institutions organized activities in topics related to disaster preparedness and response. Most of the activities had a “train the trainer” spirt in order to build local knowledge for future events. Also, various talks and webinars were offered to exposed the state of collections and recovery process.
