The EPA and Hurricane Maria: EDF Has The Story Behind the Story

Dear Reporter:  In the wake of President Trump’s visit to Puerto Rico, the Environmental Defense Fund has prepared a special annotation of a recent EPA press release showing how the Trump Administration is touting the same EPA disaster relief efforts they’ve been busy trying to cut.

This vintage 1990s-style “Pop-Up Reality Check Press Release” annotates an October 3 EPA press release about the Agency’s efforts during Hurricane Maria.  It shows how President Trump and EPA Administrator Pruitt are undercutting critical work that the EPA is trying to do right now to protect residents of Puerto Rico from environmental hazards, particularly during natural disasters.  (EDF published a similar pop-up press release on September 13 in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.)
