MAYOR DE BLASIO AND HISPANIC FEDERATION ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP TO BRING FIRST RESPONDERS TO PUERTO RICO

Mayor de Blasio and the Hispanic Federation today announced a partnership to bring first responders to Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria, which has left unprecedented devastation on the island. “We’re ready to do all we can to help those affected by this devastating hurricane. We thank the Hispanic Federation for making this flight possible, and these responders for dedicating their time and expertise to assisting with recovery,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio. “

The relief mission we are partnering to execute will help Puerto Rico in its darkest hours,” said José Calderón, President of the Hispanic Federation. “I commend Mayor de Blasio and the City of New York for their leadership and for demonstrating unflinching solidarity with the Puerto Rican people. I must thank Lin-Manuel Miranda, his dad Luis and the Miranda family for their untiring effort to raise funds to make this possible.” "New York City stands with our brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico," said Public Advocate Letitia James. "Thank you to the Hispanic Federation, Mayor de Blasio, and, most importantly, our first responders for making a difference during this critical time. Hurricane Maria has caused massive devastation, but Puerto Rico won't be left behind and we will work together to make the island stronger than ever." Saturday morning, a team of 22 City workers and Council Speaker Mark-Viverito departed Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on the way to San Juan, Puerto Rico. The flight is being sponsored by the Hispanic Federation, which is helping to coordinate relief efforts. The Mayor’s Office is facilitating the participation of the first responders partaking in this mission, including providing leave.
