The JCC offers comfort and support in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl
“Hurricane Beryl barreled past our island and battered the nation with boisterous winds and rain. But we will not be beaten or buried by despair.”
In the aftermath of the devastation of Hurricane Beryl, the Jamaica Council of Churches (JCC) acknowledges the death, damage, dislocation and disruption that have occurred. We mourn the loss of hurricane-related deaths and offer our prayers and words of comfort to the families who now grieve the loss of loved ones. The damage to the natural and built environment has led to serious disruptions in the ability of our government and its agencies, including the utility companies, to offer service to the nation. Distressing also, have been the dislocations to families, households, farms and businesses. It is now clear that several communities have been severely impacted.
