In the aftermath of the ravages of Hurricane Maria in September 2017, the Puerto Rico Community Foundation <\/strong>(FCPR) created the Water For Us<\/strong>. Its primary focus is to provide access to safe drinking water by strengthening community aqueducts. To achieve this, it strengthens four essential areas of community aqueducts: infrastructure, community organization, management, and compliance with regulatory agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the projects of this program - currently under development - is the Energy Redundancy for Community Aqueducts. Learn more about this social justice, equity and community prosperity project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the project <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Energy Redundancy for Community Aqueducts project is being carried out under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Program (HMP)<\/strong>, which is implemented through the Central Office for Recovery, Reconstruction and Resiliency (COR3)<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will provide the communities with water pumping equipment, photovoltaic equipment and an emergency generator to allow uninterrupted operation during emergencies, blackouts or power outages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
