Caguas official Miranda Torres said large challenges are best faced when government and community work together, and that in any emergency the city will respond as a single unit.[^1]

Torres put it plainly: 'the Caguas team.' Not government on one side and residents on the other, but both moving together.

The read here is that the framing matters as much as the policy. A statement like this, made before an emergency rather than after one, is an invitation to residents to think of themselves as part of the response - not just its recipients.
