Our thoughts and prayers are with our brothers and sisters in the Eastern Caribbean as they anticipate the arrival of hurricane #BERYL, which has strengthened into an “extremely dangerous” Category 4 storm.
On Monday, Beryl’s eye is expected to pose greatest risk to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines as well as Grenada, where @CARICOMorg Heads of Government were due to convene this week.
Encouraging local authorities, communities and households here in Jamaica and the rest of the western Caribbean to prepare diligently.

o cómo el silencio significa complicidad".
