Puerto Rico's government has asked people who have not been able to determine the status of friends and family who live in the island to reach out to its staffers.

Phone: 202-800-3133
Email: maria1@prfaa.pr.gov

The territory's Federal Affairs Administration (PRFAA) is experiencing a high email volume, so officials have urged people not to send more than one email until the status of their loved one is updated.

Those communicating with the agency are urged to provide contact information and as many details about the person whom is sought as possible, including name, age and possible locations.

USA.gov is also encouraging friends and family seeking information to call Puerto Rico's WIPR local radio station at 787-777-0940. Concerned loved ones can also used the American Red Cross' Safe and Well registry.
