In addition to temporary housing, FEMA has also offered air travel vouchers for those wishing to return to Puerto Rico.

The Trump Administration is convening a review council for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and two prominent Florida officials will be on the panel. 
 
FEMA Director Kevin Guthrie and Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz were tapped by President Donald Trump to review the work of the agency.
