The American Red Cross was even quicker to act. On-site relief was in place in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands before Hurricane Irma even made landfall. After Maria, additional resources were deployed to provide shelter, food and medical care to those displaced and injured by both Maria and Irma. On the U.S. Virgin Islands, more than 620 people were served by 7 Red Cross evacuation shelters; in Puerto Rico, 11,370 people were served in 173 evacuation shelters.
