ODPEM Issues Press Release Regarding Tsunami Warning

 Press Release #1 From ODPEM

 


Issued on: Saturday 8th, February 2024 at 10:00 pm

Tsunami Warning

An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 at a depth of 10.0 km (6.2137 miles) occurred at 209 km SSW of George Town, Cayman Islands, as reported by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center on February 08, 2025 23:23:14 UTC.

Although Jamaica was issued an advisory for a possible tsunami wave, at no point in time was a tsunami warning issued for Jamaica.  The main areas of concern were Honduras and the Cayman Islands.

The authority with the responsibility to issue a tsunami warning for Jamaica is the ODPEM in conjunction with the Meteorological Service of Jamaica and supported by the Jamaica Constabulary Force ( JCF), after the assessment of data provided by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

Notifications were made to the National Tsunami Response Team and the Parish Response Mechanism.

   An all-clear bulletin has been issued for the region as the tsunami threat has passed.

Bring Back Wi Country Bus and Trains

Contributed


I used to love my country bus Silver Liner, Jew Boy Montego Bay to Black River. Morning Star to Montego Bay and Savana-la-mar. May Flower Kingston To Montego Bay via Browns Town, Clarks Town, Falmouth. Busses like Confidence ran everywhere.

As a youth, the country bus ride was nice only rivalled by the train from Montego Bay to Kingston. Who smash up we nice nice Jamaica? Our trains and diesel services. From Montego Bay to Kingston leave at 7:00 am reach the Town by 11:00 Am then leave at 3:00 pm and reach Montego Bay by 7:00 pm.

The train ride was nice and reasonable it was like a fair in motion. You could get shrimp, beer, soft drinks, rum, Ammy, ice cream, fried fish, roast pork, banana, dark or reading glasses, pants length, shirts jeans, Gleaner, Star, Rachik knives, sweetie, religion.

As a likkle boy wah nice so and the people were the original civil-loving and kind Jamaicans. The train was what transported cars from Kingston Wharves to Montego Bay.

In dependence Kingston's quasi-colonial government mash up Jamaica to the extent most Jamaicans are now criminals.

Don't be upset, as any behaviour that attracts a fine or imprisonment is a crime that's how you become a criminal.

Drive over 30 mph in a built-up area = Criminal. Depositing paper or garbage other than in a place designated = Criminal.

One way to reduce crime is to ask every Jamaican to police themselves, friends, and families alike.
