Be Part of the Jewish Community's Response to the Earthquakes in Puerto Rico

The Greater Miami Jewish Federation is joining our global Jewish community in response to the 6.4 magnitude earthquake that struck southwestern Puerto Rico on January 7 along with the ones that followed it in the consecutive days.

It is estimated that 2,000 people were displaced and are living in temporary shelters as a result of structural damage to their residences. While power has been restored to parts of the island, many areas remain without electricity. The government of Puerto Rico has identified the need for basic supplies such as water, food and medical supplies as well as tents and cots to assist with sheltering those displaced and water sanitation efforts.
