Hostos Helping

A series of earthquakes have shaken Puerto Rico’s southwestern coast since late December 2019, devastating communities still recovering from Hurricane Maria. Two major quakes—one of which was the biggest to hit the island in a century—rocked the region four days apart in early January, damaging local structures and leaving local residents reeling.

Hostos Community College is steadfast in its commitment to aiding Puerto Rico’s recovery efforts in the wake of recent natural disasters. Thus, we have compiled an updated list of international, national, and local government and non-governmental organizations and coalitions working to help those impacted by the recent earthquakes. We have worked to include coalitions and organizations led by respected colleagues in different agencies and fields.

We invite you to refer to this guide when deciding how and where you can help. If you have information concerning other organized efforts that are not listed here, please send correspondence to publicrelations@hostos.cuny.edu.
