Puerto Rico Emergency Director FIRED after residents discover Warehouse Full of Supplies.

The emergency aid is believed to be from when Hurricane Maria hit the island two years ago, the governor said.

Carlos Acevedo, director of Puerto Rico’s Office of Emergency Management, was dismissed Saturday. The governor appointed Maj. Gen. José J. Reyes, the adjutant general of the Puerto Rico National Guard, to replace him.

Earlier on Saturday, numerous pallets of water and other boxes with emergency supplies were found at a warehouse in the earthquake ravaged city of Ponce.

Several residents were seen opening the rolling metal doors of the building and calling for authorities to distribute the supplies. Families began lining up Saturday afternoon outside the warehouse, hoping to get bottled water, food and emergency radios.

Acevedo has denied allegations of mishandling, saying the agency has been actively distributing supplies, according to a statement released through the office of emergency management. No residents have been denied any supplies in the warehouse, including food, diapers, baby formula and cots, Acevedo said.

William Henry Hastie, born on November 17, 1904 in Knoxville, Tennessee, became America’s first Black federal judge when in 1937 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt appointed him to the Federal District Court bench in the Virgin Islands. Hastie served at this position for two years before stepping down and becoming dean of Howard University School of Law, as well as a professor of law at the university. In 1946 he was appointed by President Harry Truman to be the Governor of the Virgin Islands, making Hastie the first Black person to hold a governor post of a US territory.
