Hurricane Maria

Thirteen days later, Hurricane Maria made a direct hit on Puerto Rico as a Category 4 storm. When it made landfall, Hurricane Maria took a course that bisected the island from the Southeast to the Northwest, resulting in DR-4339-PR. As a result of DR-4339-PR, all 78 of Puerto Rico’s municipios/townships were declared for either Individual Assistance or Public Assistance. Hurricanes Irma and Maria were the strongest storms to strike Puerto Rico in nearly a century.
