Seismic Shocks and Legal Fault Lines: A Deep Dive into Puerto Rico’s Earthquake Swarm and Infrastructure Safety
In recent weeks, Puerto Rico has been rattled by a series of seismic events, which have raised significant concerns about the safety of the island's infrastructure. The persistent earthquake swarm has exposed weaknesses in the structural integrity of key facilities and raised questions about the adequacy of existing safety protocols. These concerns are not only a matter of public safety but also highlight the legal and policy implications that accompany such natural disasters. As Puerto Rico remains under the sovereignty of the United States, the response to these events is compounded by complex legal frameworks that govern emergency management, federal funding, and infrastructure development.
