New Hope, Westmoreland
MelissaOne year on
The strongest hurricane ever to strike Jamaica. This is the national record of what it took, how Jamaica and the world answered, and how the country rebuilt, kept so the generations after us know what happened and who stood up.

Forty-five lives
St Elizabeth 18. Westmoreland 15. St James 6. Hanover 2. Trelawny 2. St Ann 1. Portland 1. Others are still missing, and some died later of illness that followed the floods.
Take a moment for them, and for everyone who lost a home, a harvest or a livelihood.
