Hurricane Response in the US Virgin Islands
In September of 2017,
Hurricane Irma and Maria
ravaged the Caribbean and
caused extreme devastation
to the USVI.
Field Ready’s Emergency
Response Team launched a
response and partnered
with My Brother’s Workshop
and identified a key need;
power.
The island had many broken
yet salvageable solar
panels, so we set out to
repair them and train others
in doing so.
The impact of our
response drastically
increased electrification
on the island. Prior to
our response, people
reported that they had
been without power for
a month.
