Upswell teamed with NetHope to connect Puerto Ricans to each other and to critical resources after Hurricane Maria.

On September 20, 2017 Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico, killing hundreds of people, causing at least $90 billion in damage, and leaving 95% percent of the island without power.

NetHope stepped in to lead the efforts to restore connectivity in Puerto Rico and enlisted Upswell to develop and launch an Information as Aid campaign.
