Hurricane Melissa has strengthened to a Category 5 system and is now approximately 100 miles south of Kingston, moving slowly westward.
Based on current projections, all of Jamaica is likely to experience hurricane-force winds, heavy rainfall, and flooding.
The Government has declared the entire island a threatened area under the Disaster Risk Management Act, empowering agencies to take all necessary measures to protect lives and property. Shelters are open, emergency teams are on standby, and compulsory evacuations have been ordered for vulnerable coastal and flood-prone communities.
Over $400 million has been allocated for drain cleaning and local preparedness, and emergency relief and recovery plans are fully activated. Our security forces and first responders are mobilized to maintain order and provide support before, during, and after the hurricane.
I urge every Jamaican to prepare, stay indoors during the storm, and comply with evacuation orders. Check on your neighbours, especially the elderly and vulnerable, and continue to pray for our nationโs safety.
We will weather this storm and rebuild stronger.

@HwsEleutheroi I'll count the offering at the meetings, with my usual 50 percent withholding so that I can buy a plane, you know to be a blessing to the less fortunate - haymen!
Will the day of judgement be more tolerable for those who pretended God didnโt exist or for those who professed to know Him but whose lives brought a reproach upon His holy name by living contrary to His Word?
#CircleK@CircleKStores -- Why destroy customer loyalty by discontinuing the #SipnSave? Had my sub for 3 years and constantly stopped for gas, snacks, etc... and my daily soda. Even when out of town, I'd find a Circle K. No more. Bad biz move.
@BroSpencer There are 2 groups of people in the world. The 1st group are those who do NOT profess faith in Christ. The 2nd group consists of those who DO profess faith in Christ.
This 2nd group can be subdivided into 2 groups - the KNOWN by God and the UNKNOWN by God.
