(1) Recovery from the devastation caused by 
natural disasters should be agile, effective, and pro-
mote resiliency for future disasters. Other priorities 
include promoting accountability and transparency 
in the use of Federal funds that will be spent in 
these efforts and implementing mechanisms to en-
sure those ends. 
(2) The current systems of the agencies in 
charge of recovery in Puerto Rico are over-central-
ized and do not serve the purpose of agile and effec-
tive planning and implementation or of effective 
monitoring and accounting. 
(3) The centralized system of Federal recovery 
spending for Puerto Rico excludes most communities 
from program design and program implementation 
prioritization, does not take advantage of the local 
historical and institutional knowledge on the use of 
Federal recovery funds, and is not as flexible and re-
sponsive as the local implementation network. 
(4) An Office for Equitable, Transparent, and 
Accountable Puerto Rico Reconstruction should be 
established so that diverse civil society leaders in 
Puerto Rico are in positions to help ensure equi-
table, effective, transparent, and accountable recov-
ery and development of Puerto Rico.

processes through effective participation mecha-
nisms, as through their local organizations and 
government representatives. 
(C) Effective and agile spending of Federal 
funds for the recovery and long-term resiliency
