Summary

Hurricane Melissa caused significant damage to infrastructure and financial stability throughout Jamaica after intensifying rapidly over the Caribbean. In the aftermath, authorities have been working to restore educational facilities impacted by the storm. While 63 schools have been completely repaired, work continues on 81 additional sites to improve structural durability against future weather events. This reconstruction effort has faced delays due to supply chain issues, a shortage of qualified labor, and complications with contractors. The disaster has highlighted the country's vulnerability to climate change and the ongoing need for improved contingency planning and insurance coverage.
