ABSTRACT

In Puerto Rico, after Hurricane María, about 60% of all applications received by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)’s Individuals and Households Program (IHP) were declared ineligible. Why would such a large number of households in Puerto Rico have been unable to obtain assistance from FEMA? To answer this question, interviews with 10 disaster survivors and 15 stakeholders were conducted. The author found that individuals were denied based on their inability to prove homeownership, no contact for inspection, and duplicate application, among other reasons. The article offers recommendations for how nonprofit groups can participate in postdisaster recovery efforts as well as how to advocate at the local and federal level for disaster victims effectively.

被认为不合格:在飓风玛丽亚之后波多黎各的房主被拒绝援助的原因

摘要

在波多黎各,在飓风玛丽亚之后,联邦紧急事务管理局 (FEMA) 的个人和家庭计划 (IHP) 收到的所有申请中,约有 60% 被宣布不合格。为什么波多黎各有如此多的家庭无法获得 FEMA 的援助?为了回答这个问题,我们采访了 10 名灾难幸存者和 15 名利益相关者。笔者发现,个人因无法证明房屋所有权、没有联系检查、重复申请等原因而被拒绝。这篇文章就非营利组织如何参与灾后恢复工作以及如何在地方和联邦层面有效地为灾民进行宣传提供了建议。
