President Donald Trump has authorized disaster relief for the Virgin Islands and plans to visit soon, according to Governor Kenneth Mapp. Many homes on the island, including those of some Ritz-Carlton employees, have been destroyed. Insurance adjusters are now assessing the damage, which seems to be more severe closer to the hotel buildings. About 40% of the residences at the club are currently usable, and electricity has been restored in some areas of downtown St. Thomas.
