Jamaicans Offering Help To Melissa Victims - Join The Line To Help

Mark Kerr-Jarrett


Help is coming for the people affected by the hurricane, Melissa, but I appeal to these people to be patient. Those who followed my post knew I picked up early in the day that there was trouble ahead. My first post was on October 18 about Melissa. It was  a weather disturbance then called Invest 98L 

Bark Di Trute was used to keep people informed about weather conditions. Approximately 50 bulletins were distributed. Bark Di Trute sent out a final warning message from Dr Barbara Carby, former Head of ODPEM. Thanks to the support from ODPEM and the Meteorological Office, and all those who gave me moral support.

What is interesting is that some people have suffered damage, and they are trying to help others. Let me identify one such person—Mr. Mark Kerr-Jarrett, a Montego Bay businessman. He bought a truck of water and had it delivered to the Mary Wildish Church in Montego Bay for distribution. Operation Blessing is installing a water filtration system and will provide 5,000 meals a day. Mr Kerr-Jarrett says the response has been amazing.

Mr Kerr Jarrett says that there is an urgent need for water, food, tarpaulins, and rope to hold down the tarpaulins. If you are willing to help, indicate this by sending me a WhatsApp message at (876) 816-5261

Some people have lost their homes, and they have nowhere to sleep or anything to eat. I appeal to these people to please exercise patience. This is a catastrophe, and for the fact that you have survived, you should be thankful.

Already, tempers are boiling, and some people are blaming our politicians. The government has to seriously consider instituting a state of emergency to ensure that there are no challenges in this time of adversity.

Climate change is real, and with the warming of the waters in the Caribbean, we can expect more Category 6, 7, or 8 hurricanes in the future. We must take care of this earth and pray to God to take care of us.

Please note that the Melissa death toll is now at 28.

    A state of emergency is needed now! I believe Seaga did so after Gilbert. Also, we need to move people out of certain areas, pump out the water, and remove the debris. We should also establish "tent cities" with security to provide immediate shelter. By the way, what's with this habit of people in Westmoreland building their houses 🏘 on the shorelines? Are they crazy? This foolishness needs to stop. We can't continue to have people building houses wherever they feel like. We need to help people to see the value and importance of order.
