Dishonest to frame a response regarding setting up a framework and one regarding relief and aid in the same quote.

Convinced JFJ likes the sound of their own voice bcuz as I said, it was being done before they drafted that letter.

There are apparently approximately 7000 @Starlink packages at DHL in Jamaica already cleared and waiting to be shipped to customers. Most won’t reach their final destination until a week or more after arriving in the island.

You cannot see the reasoning of people over 20 on Social Media and think our schools can remain closed.

Last night I went to a remote district in St. E. where I saw the WORST destruction I've seen so far. In the little square the bars had generators running, sound boxes playing loud music. Half the community seemed to be out there mingling, having a one drink, a one spliff. One...

In Jamaica, Sunday evenings are for relaxation and community.

Recently, we visited the communities of Rock and Cooper’s Pen to distribute care packages. Thanks to the generous support of Champion Wholesale and the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, residents received much-needed assistance to make post–Hurricane Melissa recovery a little easier.

Despite the uplift in morale, reminders of the Category 5 hurricane remain — debris and piles of waste still line sections of our roadways. This is our reality.

Special thanks to Ascend Innovation for ensuring these packages reached each community safely.

Inch by inch, we’re moving through the constituency — helping residents restore a sense of normalcy, one community at a time.

In areas hit hard by Typhoon Kalmaegi, our #ChefsForPhilippines restaurant partners are working around the clock to ensure their neighbors have something to eat. Maria Lina Catering—who also supported our response after the recent earthquake in Cebu—is once again serving families impacted by disaster. Partners like the Maria Lina team are the heart of our work in the Philippines and around the world, helping WCK deliver nourishing meals when they’re needed most.

JPS President and CEO, Hugh Grant, announced that 64% of customers (over 300,000) now have electricity restored, with major progress in Kingston, St. Andrew, St. Catherine, and St. Thomas, where over 95% of customers are back on the grid.

Restoration has also advanced in Clarendon, Manchester, Portland, St. Mary, and St. Ann, including critical facilities like St. Ann’s Bay Hospital, Ocho Rios Pier, and the parish infirmary.

Mr. Grant confirmed that power has been restored to Sangster International Airport, the Cornwall Regional Hospital, Fairview Shopping Centre, Freeport BPO Zone, and the Hip Strip in Montego Bay. He assured that Hanover and Westmoreland will have power within two weeks, and Trelawny, including Falmouth Town, Hospital, and Pier, will be restored this week.

JPS has deployed over 200 additional overseas line workers and imported new bucket and pole-digging trucks to accelerate recovery.

Some years ago, a former boss went to Venezuela for a work trip. He learned that the people living in the shanty towns in Caracas and other towns are not broke or poor, they live like that because they pay no taxes. Of course there are poor people in many parts of Jamaica, but don’t think for one minute that it’s all of them.

[Jamaica Observer @JamaicaObserver]

The Chinese business community in western Jamaica has mobilised more than $100 million in hurricane relief supplies for communities devastated by Hurricane Melissa, with an immediate emergency response led by LCH Developments just hours after the Category 5 storm devastated sections of the country.

LCH Developments’ construction partner, Brothers Concepts & Solutions Limited, was first on the ground, deploying bulldozers and heavy machinery to clear blocked roads and reopen critical access routes for emergency food and water deliveries.
