The US Virgin Islands remain in a state of chaos, with residents still reeling from the catastrophic destruction caused by Hurricane Irma.

“There is no electrical power on the east end and probably in the entire island,” Mark Friedman, who lives on the island of St. John, told The Post. “In my opinion, what is needed most on the east end of St. John is cell service so people can communicate.”

St. John residents have estimated that 80 percent of the island’s structures suffered serious damage when the then-Category 5 hurricane swept through — and complained about being forgotten by the United States in the wake of the storm.

“It feels like we’re the bastard stepchildren of America and now nobody wants to help us,” Matt Gyuraki, 35, an IT specialist, told the Miami Herald.

But on Tuesday, Jenn Manes, who runs a blog with news from St. John, said military members had arrived to aid in relief efforts and police officers from the island of St. Croix were patrolling streets.

“Help has arrived,” she said. “And again, these officers are simply amazing. They will keep St. John safe. I am certain of that.”

And the US Coast Guard, along with private businesses and organizations, have been delivering badly needed supplies.

President Trump is planning to visit “within the next six or seven days,” Gov. Kenneth Mapp said late Monday.

Meanwhile, two cruise liners were planning to evacuate stranded tourists and “seriously impacted” residents from St. Thomas and St. John on Tuesday night, according to the US Virgin Islands Department of Tourism.
