Mayor Adams announces how NYC will help people of Puerto Rico after Hurricane Fiona's devastation.
Earlier this week, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that New York State is sending 100 Spanish speaking members of the state police to Puerto Rico.
"New York knows full well the devastating impact that Mother Nature can bring, and that is why we stand ready to help the people of Puerto Rico recover and rebuild from this terrible storm," Hochul said. "Our brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico are incredibly resilient but, in times like this, New York will be there to help in any way we can, including sending personnel and resources to help the island and its residents recover.
"We paid an electrician out of our own pocket to connect us," he said, adding that he doesn't think the government will be of much help again after Fiona.
