Voluntary organizations meet at Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Caribbean Area Division office to discuss the creation of Long Term Recovery Committees (LTRC) in the disaster declared areas of Puerto Rico. The committees include private non-profit organizations, faith-based institutions, local volunteers, and even residents who suffered losses and damages after the floods. As a result of these collaborations, United Way of Puerto Rico has made accessible the 2-1-1 Assistance Guide, which offers detailed information about relief and recovery services available to affected residents, provided by different non-profit organizations and governmental agencies.
