Look at the perfect job for me!

On Owning Manhattan, I think Ryan needs a Chief Operating Officer to relieve some of his pressure!

One of the best decisions I made this year was to purchase a robot vacuum and mop.

See my latest article in the Jamaica Observer: “Hurricane Melissa Exposed a Critical Gap” – calling for legislation to license and empower urban planners in Jamaica, just as architects and engineers are.

Is the Eglinton Crosstown LRT expected to open soon? It's 5 years overrun now!

First Aid and CPR training should be a mandatory part of high school education. The MOE can partner with licensed providers to ensure every student is certified before graduation. It's a vital, potentially life-saving skill.

The other day, I mentioned Public Health concerns arising from Hurricane Melissa. Here is another critical issue I did not highlight. https://t.co/zdMt3t0aJj

Thank you!

Excited about his return #RonaldJackson!

I read the following Peer-Reviewed Journal Article to glean info for this thread. https://t.co/XzN7utwfA0

Video in the 1/ was from Jamaica Ai -

We design the systems that shape health: 1) Safe water & sanitation 2) Resilient housing 3) Accessible clinics and transport 4) Disaster-proof infrastructure Melissa exposed our weak points. Let’s rebuild with equity, climate resilience, and public health at the core.

12/13 So what now? 1) Empty & monitor pit latrines 2) Launch mosquito control blitz 3) Support field hospitals with mobile clinics 4) Provide mental health outreach 5) Prioritize vulnerable groups Public health is not just medicine, it’s infrastructure, equity, & resilience.

11/12 Let’s be honest, inequality shapes recovery. Poorer communities face longer delays in water, electricity, and healthcare. Hurricane Melissa will deepen these gaps unless we act intentionally. Equity must guide our response.

10/12 Substance abuse and violence often rise after disasters. Stress, trauma, and lack of services can lead to spikes in domestic and sexual violence, alcohol misuse, and depression. These are slow-burning crises that emerge months later. Prevention starts with awareness.

9/12 Floodwaters carry toxins. Melissa likely stirred up pesticides, sewage, and industrial waste. These seep into soil and water, affecting crops and drinking sources. Children are especially vulnerable. We need environmental testing and cleanup, not just road repairs.

8/12 Reproductive health is fragile post-disaster. Pregnant women face higher risks of complications, and access to care is disrupted. For example, after Hurricane Maria, gynecologic services in Puerto Rico collapsed. We must protect maternal health now, not wait for tragedy.

7/12 Older Jamaicans are at high risk. Many live alone, rely on public transport, and have chronic conditions. For example, after Hurricane Sandy in the US, ER visits for seniors increased. We must check on our elders, not just with food, but with medical/wellness follow-up.

6/12 Mental health is the quiet storm. Loss, trauma, and displacement are taking a toll, especially on children and older people. After past hurricanes, depression and PTSD can linger for years. We need community-based mental health support, not just crisis hotlines.

5/12 Hospitals and clinics were hit hard. While field hospitals have been set up (big respect to our health partners), access remains patchy, especially in remote areas. Chronic patients are missing meds. Pregnant women are struggling to find prenatal care. This is dangerous.
