Hurricane Melissa disaster relief for Jamaica, Philly and abroad

Jamaica is bracing for the worse of Melissa’s impact as the island could be hit by the strongest storm in its history. Evacuations of low-lying areas have already taken place. Jamaica’s public electricity service is working to ensure continuity of service. The government has already allocated funds to prevent injury and death and a rapid recovery response. Family members in the greater Philadelphia looking to get in touch with loved ones in Jamaica are asked to contact the consulate via email chris@Jamaicaconsulatephiladelphia.com.
