Prime Minister, Dr. Andrew Holness says Jamaica has been receiving pledges of support for hurricane preparation and recovery from its regional and international partners.
The Prime Minister says “All CARICOM countries have reached out to pledge support the country's recovery efforts as well as preparation efforts.
He was addressing a press briefing earlier today on preparations for Hurricane Melissa at the National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) at the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM) in Kingston.
Hurricane Melissa is expected to make landfall early Tuesday (October 28) as a powerful category five system bringing strong winds, heavy rainfall over the entire country, causing flooding and landslide.
Dr. Holness reminded Jamaicans that the system is unusual.
The Prime Minister said Jamaicans can rest assured that the Government is prepared to respond to the impact of the hurricane.
