🌧️🌀 Hurricane season is here, and flood prevention starts with all of us! Help reduce flooding by properly disposing of household waste, keeping drains and gullies free of debris, and avoiding the dumping of garbage in waterways. These small actions can make a big difference!

40 years ago, the June 1986 Floods became one of Jamaica’s worst flood disasters, claiming 50 lives, displacing 2,000 people, and causing millions in damage. As we remember those affected, let us renew our commitment to preparedness and resilience🇯🇲
