subtransmission and distribution lines, as well as substations
across the island. With the support of the Corps and the Puerto
Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), we are making daily
progress. We have people and the equipment in place and are adding
resources as needed. In addition, we are working with more than a
dozen local businesses and are procuring hundreds of thousands of
