AHA yesterday donated to the American Red Cross to support its relief work in Puerto Rico, which experienced a 5.9 magnitude earthquake on Saturday, a 6.4 magnitude quake on Jan. 7 and more than 1,000 tremors since late December, causing landslides and damaging homes and businesses. Red Cross teams are supporting shelters and caring for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and children; distributing emergency supplies; and checking on the health and wellbeing of residents.
