Donovan inspects damage in Puerto Rico as part of congressional delegation
House mission reviews Hurricane Maria response
U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan, who represents a district hit hard by Superstorm Sandy five years ago, traveled to Puerto Rico on Saturday as part of a bipartisan congressional delegation on a fact-finding mission to the hurricane-ravaged island.
Donovan (R-C-Bay Ridge-Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island) and the other members of the delegation were there to review the U.S. government’s response to Hurricane Maria, according to a spokesperson for the lawmaker.
The delegation arrived in Puerto Rico via a military aircraft and received briefings from military leaders, as well as representatives from the U.S. the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, all of whom offered the latest information on how the recovery effort is going.
