At least two people have died in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Fiona caused flooding and landslides, and took out the island’s entire electricity supply.
Officials said a 58-year-old man died after being swept away by a river in the town of Comerío, while another in his 30s had died in a generator fire.
Heavy rain has continued to lash the US territory, and large portions of the island remain without power.
President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency on Sunday.
The order allows authorities to provide disaster relief.
About 600 National Guard soldiers are currently conducting rescue operations across the island, and some 1,000 people have so far been rescued.
First responders from three states are expected to assist in the coming days.
