Holness urges Jamaica to prepare early for 2026 hurricane season
Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness is urging Jamaicans to step up their readiness before the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season gets under way. The six-month season is scheduled to begin on June 1.
Dr. Holness said people should use the time now to review the condition of their homes and communities instead of waiting until a storm is approaching. He also encouraged checks on generators, emergency food stocks and roofs while the weather remains good.
The Prime Minister made the appeal yesterday at the Opening Ceremony for the Labour Day National Project at the Lewis Town Early Childhood Institution (ECI) in Brompton, St. Elizabeth. The event was held under the theme, “One People, One Purpose, In all things, Jamaica wins.”
