On September 20, Hurricane Maria hits Puerto Rico as a Category 4 storm, causing widespread damage and completely destroying the island's power grid. TacOps deploys to Puerto Rico within a week, and then rotates teams every two weeks. Working in partnership with NetHope, TacOps and a team local Cisconians, based out of Cisco’s San Juan office, support connectivity efforts on the island for 75 days. It will be the longest deployment in the group’s history.
