Jamaica Picks Up the Pieces After Hurricane Melissa 🌪️🇯🇲
Hurricane Melissa recently struck Jamaica, leaving widespread destruction. From damaged roofs to flooded streets, communities across the island are grappling with the aftermath.
Nearly three million residents are still struggling to bounce back. With power lines down and essential services disrupted, many young families face tough choices—like finding clean water, securing temporary shelter, and reuniting with loved ones.
Across towns and villages, neighbours are stepping up, using mobile apps to coordinate relief and share updates. It’s inspiring to see tech-savvy communities turn smartphones into lifelines for real-time info and support.
While recovery will take time, Jamaica’s spirit of resilience shines through 🇯🇲✨. Improvised kitchens are serving hot meals, and youth-led clean-up crews are hitting the streets to clear debris.
For our South and Southeast Asia fam, this is a reminder that extreme weather can hit anywhere. Let’s stay prepared, spread awareness, and send positive vibes to everyone on the island!
