Hurricane Melissa
Emergency Response Fundraiser
Here’s how to help those impacted by Hurricane Melissa across Jamaica and the Caribbean
Destruction Across Jamaica and the Caribbean
Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 hurricane, made landfall in Jamaica with catastrophic winds exceeding 185 mph, torrential rains, and widespread flooding. The storm has caused severe damage across parts of the Caribbean, including Haiti and the Dominican Republic, where at least six fatalities have been confirmed.
Jamaica and other Caribbean nations face life-threatening storm surges, flash floods, and infrastructure collapse as Melissa continues its path across the region. Entire communities have been cut off, with power and communication lines down in several locations. While economic losses are still being assessed, early forecasts warn of unprecedented devastation and extensive damage to homes, roads, and public facilities.
