             The videos and photos don’t begin to tell the story. People have already started rebuilding, clearing the roads and supporting each other. Because we are a resilient people. Stay advocating for the affected especially for the basic services. Many are traumatized so when you go

             I hope when the roads are clear we will have a national day (at the very least 3days) of build back/restoration. On this day we plant crops, trees, rebuild roofs in all the parishes seriously affected.

             Westmoreland has been cut off from the rest of Jamaica pretty much, no entrance through St.E, Hanover or St.James routes just yet except by foot. NWA is still trying to make it out of the town of Savanna-la-mar to make a path in. Concrete poles are lying across the streets.
