Today is Day 1 of our National Recovery. We are acting quickly to assess the damage and bring relief. Jamaica. we are strong, and we will get through this.
I am now in St Elizabeth and images of destruction are all around.
The damage is great, but we are going to devote all our energy to mount a strong recovery.
The Jamaican gov't has been immaculate throughout this entire ordeal. It is inspiring and a prime example of what a gov't is meant to be in a time of crisis.
We are reassuring every Jamaican, especially those in the western parishes, that your Government stands firmly with you. We know many of you are hurting, uncertain, and anxious after Hurricane Melissa, but please know that you are not alone.
So far, there have been no confirmed reports of deaths, and we are thankful for that. Our teams are on the ground working tirelessly to rescue, restore, and bring relief where it’s needed most.
Recovery will take time, but the Government is fully mobilized. Relief supplies are being prepared, and we are doing everything possible to restore normalcy quickly.
To every Jamaican, hold strong. We will rebuild, we will recover.
The devastation, anxiety and pain I have felt over Hurricane Melissa as someone not physically present in Jamaica , but who lived there for 3 of the best years of my life and visited just earlier this year , my heart is with the people. They did not deserve this 🇯🇲🥺
🚨 #Update Assessment of NMIA, MBJ & Ian Flemming INTL. Airports to comment today, led by Minister Daryl Vaz. Following the assessment, the Govt will provide updates regarding the reopening of Airports to facilitate relief support, arrivals and departures. #HurricaneMelissa
Woke up to this message in one of our diaspora hurricane relief groups and everyone agreed:
“Good morning can i make a suggestion, humbly? Before we begin purchasing and shipping items from abroad, I’m asking us to think strategically. Jamaica may have businesses that already sell many of these same products. Instead of bypassing them, can we identify and buy directly from local suppliers. That approach strengthens the economy, creates jobs, and accelerates recovery from within.
This isn’t just relief. It’s rebuilding with dignity and strategy.”

The Government of Trinidad and Tobago really left citizens of Trinidad and Tobago in Jamaica to face a category 5 hurricane that has been stated to be worse than Katrina
They thought extraction flights post the hurricane was a sufficient move
I’m so UPSET over that
The Hurricane Melissa Relief website is now operational.
Rebuilding Lives. Restoring Hope.
Hurricane Melissa is a powerful Category 5 storm posing a serious threat to the lives and livelihoods of Jamaicans. In its aftermath, recovery will take every helping hand. Together, let us stand ready to protect and help families recover, rebuild homes and restore livelihoods once the storm passes.
