FYI:
White House announces that the US Army Corp of Engineers is in charge of
power in Puerto Rico, and were given priorities to hospitals and other
emergency services. No mention of telecom being part of those
priorities. Initial push is installing temporary power generation.
They are not yet working on fixing the electrical grid.
(44 of 69 hospitals now have power).
(Note: FEMA has decided to stick to road deliveries, not air drops for
supplies).
