Seeking Resources on Internal Displacement in Puerto Rico / En búsqueda de recursos sobre el desplazamiento interno en Puerto Rico

[Melinda Gonzalez]

En búsqueda de artículos, reportajes o estudios (2015–2025) en español o inglés sobre el desplazamiento interno en Puerto Rico — por ejemplo, personas que se mudan de un municipio a otro por desastres, cierres de escuelas, pérdida de vivienda, contaminación ambiental, etc.

Ya tengo bastantes recursos sobre migración externa, pero me interesa específicamente el desplazamiento dentro del archipiélago.

Agradeceré cualquier referencia, cita o enlace que puedan compartir.

I’m looking for articles, reports, or studies (2015–2025) in English or Spanish on internal displacement within Puerto Rico — for example, people moving from one municipality to another due to disasters, school closures, housing loss, environmental contamination, etc.

I already have many resources on external migration, but I’m specifically interested in displacement within the archipelago.

Any references, citations, or links are much appreciated.

Gracias!
