Puerto Rico's Governor, Luis G. Fortuño Burset, has declared Tuesday, August 23, 2011, as another one-off non-working public sector holiday on account of the current tropical storm Irene.

It states that non-essential government workers are to be off work on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 (el Gobernador de Puerto Rico, Hon. Luis G. Fortuño Burset, autorizó el cese de labores de los empleados públicos de la Rama Ejecutiva, a partir de las 3:00 p.m. de hoy, martes, 23 de agosto de 2011, sin cargo a licencia alguna).
Yesterday (21-Aug-2011), Puerto Rico's interim Governor, Kenneth McClintock, had already declared Monday, August 22, 2011, as a one-off non-working public sector holiday, this time on account of the upcoming tropical storm Irene.
And a few weeks ago (02-Aug-2011 and 31-Jul-2011), Tuesday, August 2, 2011, and Wednesday, August 3, 2011, had been declared a one-off non-working public sector holiday on account of tropical storm Emily.
