Such natural disasters can devastate existing electricity sources, as seen by the major disruptions in grid operations after Hurricanes Irma and Maria in Puerto Rico and Barbuda in the late summer and early fall of 2017. In Puerto Rico, Hurricane Irma destroyed 90 percent of the grid, leaving no means of communication between communities and centralized aid relief.1 While telecommunications companies were able to quickly establish emergency hotspots and repair cell phone towers, many communities did not have electricity to power their phones, and therefore were unable to access emergency communications and pertinent aid coming in from centralized locations.2 Furthermore, the primary method of backup generation in Puerto Rico consisted of fuel-based generators, which, along with diesel required to operate them, are largely imported.3 In the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, however, the island experienced significant shortages in both generator and fuel supply, leaving residents with few or no options for backup electrification. While Irma and Maria wreaked havoc primarily in Puerto Rico and Barbuda, other Caribbean islands are similarly vulnerable to potential catastrophe brought on by future storms.

    February 14, 2018 The Honorable Ricardo Rosselló Governor La Fortaleza P.O. Box 9020082 San Juan, PR 00902-0082 Dear Governor Rosselló, I write as president of the American Statistical Association to respectfully urge you to keep Puerto Rico’s statistical agency, El Instituto de Estadísticas de Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics, PRIS), and its board of directors fully independent. I also draw your attention to the 2,800 individuals—and still growing—who have signed a petition with this same request.1 At this critical historical juncture, Puerto Rico needs accurate, objective, and timely statistics. Government statistics empower the economy, serve the health and welfare of citizens, improve governance, and inform decisions and policies in the public and private sectors, among many other vital functions. Government statistics are also fundamental to evidence-based policymaking, the engagement of which is on a rapid rise in local, state, and federal governments. To address the challenges posed by its decade-long economic recession and the devastation of back-to-back hurricanes, Puerto Rico must chart its path toward sustainable recovery using reputable and reliable data and statistical methods. Because of their broad and profound importance, it is imperative that government statistics be produced through rigorous scientific processes and analyses performed by experts that can function without improper outside influence. Government statistics must be independent, objective, accurate, and timely and be perceived as such. It is just as important to have adequate statistics on a variety of topics. PRIS has demonstrated repeatedly it has the expertise to function independently to produce rigorous, objective, and accurate statistics for the benefit of Puerto Rico and its people.

    Honorable Thomas Rivera Schatz President of the Senate of Puerto Rico Senado‐El Capitolio P.O. Box 9023431 San Juan, PR 00902‐3431 April 19, 2017 Dear Mr. President of the Senate of Puerto Rico Recently you signed an administrative order limiting the civil and human rights of transgender individuals in Puerto Rico. Banning our Puerto Rican transgender brothers and sisters, who are Senate employees, from using the restroom and wardrobe that corresponds to their gender identity is a step backwards in the civil rights movements and struggles for equality. We have seen substantial progress in response to protections of communities already marginalized and targeted by discrimination, hatred, homophobia and transphobia around the world. For far too long Transgender & Gender Non‐Conforming (TGNC) citizens have not been explicitly protected under Human Rights Law. In a national transgender survey just released a few months ago, it was found that: • 29% of the respondents were living in poverty. That is two (2) times the rate of the U.S. population! • 30% reported being fired, denied a promotion, or mistreated on the job • 15% were unemployed. That is three (3) times higher than the national average (5%). Transgender people of color were unemployed at four (4) times the average! • 16% reported owning a home. That compares to a 63% average nationwide • 30% reported being homeless at one time in their life • 70% of those using a homeless shelter reported some form of mistreatment • 80% of LGBTQ students, mostly transgender students, are harassed in school throughout their lifetime • Is it any wonder that 40% of the respondents had attempted suicide? Transgender and gender non‐conforming communities are in need of permanent explicit protections from harmful discrimination in housing and employment, and the same access to government‐owned facilities, and services afforded to the general public and to the services of privately owned businesses.

  • Economic and Fiscal Conditions in the U.S. Virgin Islands
    Economic and Fiscal Conditions in the U.S. Virgin Islands Updated February 13, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45235 Economic and Fiscal Conditions in the U.S. Virgin Islands Summary Fiscal and economic challenges facing the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) government raise several issues for Congress. Congress may choose to maintain oversight of federal policies that could affect the USVI’s long-term fiscal stability. Congress also may consider further legislation that would extend or restructure long-range disaster assistance programs to mitigate those challenges and promote greater resiliency of infrastructure and public programs. Federal responses to the USVI’s fiscal distress could conceivably affect municipal debt markets more broadly. Greater certainty in federal funding for disaster responses and Medicaid could support the USVI economy. The USVI, like many other Caribbean islands acquired by European powers, were used to produce sugar and other tropical agricultural products and to further strategic interests such as shipping and the extension of naval forces. Once the United States acquired the U.S. Virgin Islands shortly before World War I, they effectively ceased to have major strategic importance. Moreover, at that time the Virgin Islands’ sugar-based economy had been in decline for decades. While efforts of mainland and local policymakers eventually created a robust manufacturing sector after World War II, manufacturing in the Virgin Islands has struggled in the 21st century. In particular, the 2012 closing of the HOVENSA refinery operated by Hess Oil resulted in the loss of some 2,000 jobs and left the local economy highly dependent on tourism and related services.
