The situation in Puerto Rico has become so dire that, for the first time ever, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is planning to airlift people stranded in shelters from the island to New York or Florida.FEMA is technically conducting an “air breach,” Mike Byrne, a federal coordinating officer for FEMA told CBS, where they will transport interested families out of Puerto Rico and into temporary housing on the mainland.The operation is part of FEMA’s Transitional Shelter Assistance program, which usually pays for hotel rooms for victims of natural disasters who lost their homes.In Puerto Rico, however, hotels are filled to capacity, thousands are still living in shelters, and tens of thousands more are living in destroyed homes without roofs. As of Wednesday, more than 50 percent of the island lacked power and roughly 15 percent had no access to clean water, according to the government website.Still, few Puerto Ricans have expressed interest in leaving, FEMA told VICE News, explaining most are eager to stay in their communities and rebuild their lives at home. In fact, just 30 of 300 families interviewed Tuesday by FEMA workers said they’d consider being flown out, Byrne told CBS.At a congressional hearing Tuesday, officials estimated that more than 100,000 Puerto Ricans have already left the island since the hurricane. FEMA is coordinating with Puerto Rico’s government to continue to survey the island’s shelters for families who want to evacuate.
