Hurricane Melissa made landfall on Jamaica on October 28, 2025, specifically striking the southern coast near Westmoreland Parish around 1 p.m. EDT. At that time, it was a Category 5 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds reaching an astonishing 185 mph. This intensity tied it with some of the strongest hurricanes on record to hit the Atlantic Basin.
The impact on Jamaica was devastating. The combination of powerful winds and heavy rainfall led to significant flooding, infrastructure damage, and power outages across the island. Coastal areas faced severe storm surges, exacerbating the destruction. Hurricane Melissa primarily impacted several parishes in Jamaica, with the hardest-hit areas being: Westmoreland, Hanover, St. Elizabeth, St. James and Trelawny. Overall, the hurricane's effects were felt across a broad swath of the island, but these parishes reported some of the most significant damage.

We recognize that the path to recovery will require time, dedication, and collective effort. Our unwavering commitment is to restore hope and dignity to individuals and families, fostering a collaborative environment where communities can thrive once again.

To complement these efforts, we are mobilizing teams from abroad to travel to Jamaica, where they will collaborate with local partners and volunteers already on the ground. Together, we will work hand-in-hand to assist with relief efforts, ensuring that our response is both swift and effective. Through community engagement and a shared commitment to rebuilding, we aim to help those affected by Hurricane Melissa regain a sense of normalcy and hope for the future.
