Hurricane Melissa has intensified into a Category 5 storm, potentially the strongest ever to strike Jamaica. Forecasters warn of life-threatening storm surge, with winds up to 175 mph, menacing the island as the most powerful storm on the planet this year. As the storm approaches, our All Hands & Hearts team is already on the ground, ready to respond.

With extensive experience responding to hurricanes across the Caribbean, we are prepared to support affected communities, helping families stay safe and begin recovery as quickly as conditions allow.
