Call to Action: We need to be better and quicker at rebuilding areas devastated by environmental disasters.

This is the United States. This is the country that put people on the Moon. This is the country that is the world's number one superpower. Why is this country not launching a massive rebuilding effort for areas like Puerto Rico, Houston, the Virgin Islands, parts of Florida and the other parts of the United States and its territories devastated by three hurricanes over the last month? We used to be better than this but this is the third time in the last 12 years that this country, over three administrations, dropped the ball when an environmental disaster occurred. We dropped it on Katrina. We dropped it on the BP oil spill. We are dropping it now and we need to get it right so people do not needlessly suffer anymore.
