Today marks the start of the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season, and Iโm reminding every Jamaican that preparedness is our best protection.
We cannot stop storms, but we can be ready for them.
Now is the time to:
โ๏ธ Check and update your family emergency plan
โ๏ธ Stock up on food, water, and essential medication
โ๏ธ Secure your home and clear around your property
โ๏ธ Keep important documents safe and easy to access
โ๏ธ Stay tuned to official weather updates
One storm can change everything, so early preparation matters. Letโs stay alert, take responsibility, and look out for each other.
Stay safe. ๐ฏ๐ฒ

Today I met with the Jamaica Drone Soccer team and even got a chance to try the game myself, and yes, I enjoyed it! ๐ฏ๐ฒโฝ
Jamaica is the only Caribbean country with a Drone Soccer team and national programme, and the team recently brought home gold after defeating teams from the USA, Canada, Mexico, and Kazakhstan.
Big congratulations to these young innovators who are showing the world that Jamaica is ready for the future of technology and sport.
This afternoon, I met with Stephen Marley to have a meaningful discussion about the future of Jamaicaโs music and cultural identity.
We spoke about the integrity of our music and the responsibility we all share in preserving its authenticity.
Entertainment and culture remain an important part of Brand Jamaica and our global identity. At the same time, we continue to invest in our people through education, health, and greater opportunities for development.
Former Finance Minister and current Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Dr Nigel Clarke, has been honoured by an Atlanta-based Jamaican organisation for his contributions to Jamaica's economic resilience.
