Healthcare Ready’s Posture
Healthcare Ready is ENGAGED for the response to Hurricane Fiona and Hurricane Ian (situation reports for Hurricane Ian are sent separately). We are closely tracking impacts to healthcare supply chain and healthcare access for both events. In addition to situation reporting, we are updating Rx Open daily to map open pharmacies in Puerto Rico and Florida. We are also sharing updates for responders and the public on social media: Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. This will be our last situation report for Hurricane Fiona. We will continue to monitor the situation and stand by for any requests for information or assistance.
Highlights
-
While overall the situation continues to improve, as of 10/7, there is a remaining need for electricity and food in impacted areas. Prolonged lack of these resources is resulting in negative health outcomes for residents.
-
99.5% of residents have had potable water restored as generators have been installed at water treatment plants and wells have been cleared of obstructions. Intermittent disruptions have been reported due to generator failures and pipes bursting.
-
As of 1:30 pm ET on 10/7 , Puerto Rico has no reported pharmacy closures. Hormigueros and Santa Isabel municipios are reporting less than 50% pharmacies as open (while no pharmacies are reporting as closed, some still have unknown status).
