Hurricane Melissa, October 2025

 

Hurricane Melissa, a powerful category five storm, is the worst storm in the country’s history. Many are comparing Hurricane Melissa to Hurricane Charlie (1951) and Hurricane Gilbert (1988), which were two of Jamaica’s most catastrophic hurricanes. Melissa has had an even more devastating impact than Charlie and Gilbert, with extensive damage on the western side of the island and several persons have lost their lives.

Donate Emergency Supplies:

As a part of relief efforts, Jamaica National is collaborating with Food for the Poor to collect emergency supplies from persons in the UK for donation to vulnerable communities. These emergency items include non-perishable food items, tarpaulins, solar lantern or battery-powered lights, and personal hygiene products, such as diapers for adults and babies and menstrual products. To get more information about how to donate items, please email ISupportJamaica@janouk.com.
