As the nation approaches what is usually the peak of the Atlantic Hurricane Season, Director of the Meteorological Service of Jamaica, Evan Thompson, has emphasised that Jamaica has a robust framework in place to respond to major storms.
Mr. Thompson pointed out that the National Disaster Risk Management Council, chaired by Prime Minister, Dr. Andrew Holness, has met with all the relevant stakeholder agencies, which indicated that they have put in place the necessary measures to be ready for the season.
He was speaking at a hybrid meeting of the Rotary Club of St. Andrew North, on Monday (August 11).
Mr. Thompson noted, as well, that the various subcommittees under the National Disaster Committee (NDC) have been meeting to discuss the nation’s preparedness.
