FULL MEASURE: December 23, 2018 – Hurricane Maria

It took nearly one year before Puerto Rico finally acknowledged the number of deaths from Hurricane Maria was shockingly more than the 64 that they’d long claimed: 2,975. That’s still many-fold less than a separate Harvard estimate. Why the uncertainty? It turns out, the task of evaluating how many were killed by the storm got mired in politics and doubt. Alberto Martinez is a professor of history in math and science at the University of Texas. He has his own estimate of deaths and explains why it’s been so difficult to get at the facts.
