A Bark Di Trute Supporter Writes
Attention Minister Vaz,I am advocating for the Jamaica Public Service to establish a hurricane crisis solution centre for its loyal customers.
With live person agents and not AI assistance at this time, to present a human touch to the hurricane disaster for the people of Jamaica.
To prevent any further hurricane disasters in communities.
I got my electricity back at home in Passage Fort/Portmore on Sunday, November 2, 2025.
With low voltage, after an explosion took away the electricity during the hurricane, I am now not able to report the matter to the Jamaica Public Service.
This proposal needs urgent attention.
From a Concerned Jamaican Citizen / JPS Investor

Organizing Ourselves
With this disaster, a well-established National Identification System would assist us in ascertaining the number of people living in the various areas.
Using Google Maps, these areas could be identified. We should have software that can capture the benefits offered to each person. Those workers in the field would use their phones to capture the information. A stable communication system, such as Starlink, should enable us to do that. Are the Ham radio operations assisting with communications in the various communities?
Are we going to have a state of emergency (SOE)? This would help to control movement so that people don't crowd these areas, making the areas inaccessible for medical purposes and to provide general support for the people.
The state of emergency could be used effectively to deal with those dog heat criminals. Try them on location and let them be a part of the cleanup process, or else they spend a lifetime in jail.
Let the people recommend leaders for their communities. The role of these leaders would be to communicate the needs of the people to the relevant authorities and to ensure that the few greedy ones do not get everything while the rest starve.
Probably they are doing these things and more. Let us hear from those who are in charge.
In the meantime, the rest of us should stop creating false information and making political points out of this devastating and sad situation. Jamaica shall rise again. Remember that it is not material things that matter but how we love and treat one another. Together we can move mountains; single-handedly, we cannot even move a pebble!
Play your part by sharing this positive blog and continue to help to make a difference in Jamaica Land We Love. The World Loves Us. Thanks to those who contacted me from England, Bermuda, Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the UK, Canada, and other countries.
Thanks.
