🇵🇷💔 10. What happens the day the ships stop coming to bring
fuel and food to Puerto Rico?

What happens to us if the ships ever stops coming to our island, mi gente?

💡🇵🇷☀️It’s time to take our island power back. None of us can do this alone. We MUST 👏 HAVE 👏SOLAR 👏community microgrids to endure, end the cash bleed, and not just survive - but THRIVE in the future!

🛑🇵🇷⚡️ Another Puerto Rico Massive Power Outage. The island will be in the dark for at least two days but what if every community had its microgrid? Let’s discuss LUMA, energy sovereignty, and why our island runs like a maxed-out credit card.

35% of Puerto Rico’s children are unprepared to participate in the island’s future workforce. Nearly 9,000 students in Puerto Rico did not pass their grades, over 66,000 students received at least one D or F - sadly, that’s the grade they passed the 2023-2024 school year with.

#PuertoRico ⚠️ If any of you have military or special rescue training or are in possession of highly trained search and rescue dogs like a Belgian Malinois, #AmandaLynnWebster has gone missing in El Yunque area. Amanda has not been seen in three days. Her father is pleading with everyone in Puerto Rico from Indiana, asking caring people to please help find his daughter who may be lost in our very dense national forest. Amanda was last seen leaving for a hike from her AirBnb Casa Parcha, located in the mountains of Naguabo.

Please if you are going hiking and are not a local, don’t try to hike #ElYunque forest or swim in its rivers and waterfalls on your own.

Mi Gente, ⚠️ Si alguno de ustedes tiene entrenamiento militar o experiencia en rescate o si usted está en posesión de perros de búsqueda y rescate altamente entrenados como un Malinois belga, #AmandaLynnWebster ha desaparecido en el área de El Yunque. Amanda no ha sido vista en tres días. Su padre está suplicando desde Indiana al pueblo de Puerto Rico, pidiendo a las personas solidarias que por favor ayuden a encontrar a su hija, quien puede estar perdida en nuestro denso bosque nacional. Amanda fue vista por última vez saliendo de caminata desde su AirBnb Casa Parcha, ubicada en las montañas de #Naguabo.

Por favor, si vas a hacer senderismo y no eres local, no intentes caminar por el bosque de El Yunque ni nadar en sus ríos y cascadas por tu cuenta, cuida tu vida para que tu familia no llore por ti.

🤙🏼🌊🏄🏽‍♀️Dear surf crew,
Dudes, please do not head out to the water to be a no wave hero. Puerto Rico will have dangerous currents, and as we know, you can't win against mother nature. So stay off the beach and don't try your mom - cause you will find out.

[NWS Southern Region @NWSSouthern]

Hurricane Lee is now a Cat 5 storm. Dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents are expected for Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands. It is still too early to know if there will be impacts for the East Coast, but dangerous rip currents and surf are expected.

Our beloved Puerto Rico has faced 327 murders in 2023. 137 committed by youth 15 to 21 years of age. We are actively leading anti-violence, mental health, and mindfulness education in K-12 schools throughout our island. Make better hope ♥️🇵🇷 #BethePeace

@bgraulau Islanders can reduce carbon footprint+fossil fuel consumption, but urban planners must learn to design to improve human life. The infrastructure is designed by men and for men. Puerto Rico needs maternal thinking design for the future. Go visit Denmark, see what it takes!

For all dog lovers, there are hundreds of abandoned, beautiful doggie children in Puerto Rico’s Roosevelt Roads military base and throughout the island. These beautiful animals need a family and your loving home.

The abandoned animal issue in Puerto Rico has become a significant care crisis for those compassionate to all animals. There are three stray animals, dogs, cats, and horses, for every person living in Puerto Rico.

Rescuers are overwhelmed and cannot take on this endeavor alone any longer. Fly here and save a life; take a dog or a cat home. With particular emphasis on stray snow dogs, like huskies, malamutes, and other expensive animals like Golden Doodles, Belgian Malinois, and German Shepherds, hundreds of these are also homeless. Don't buy! ❤️Come here and adopt a dog, save their life, and they will change yours.

I have rescued FOUR snow dogs from inhumane conditions you wouldn't believe. If you live somewhere cold, where it snows, please fly here and help take all stray snowdogs off the island.

Help spread the message,
@IslandCorps
