Barrio Obrero, Puerto Rico April 2018


        This image shows the devastation left by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico in September 2017. The blue tarps on the top of houses were used as temporary solutions until the houses could be repaired properly. However, the date of this image is April 2018, almost eight months after the hurricane and they still haven’t been fully fixed. The image is a true color composite and shows how remote sensing can be a powerful tool to observe and assess damage repairs in large-scales areas. In this image we can see how slow the reconstruction process for Puerto Rico has been.
