Jamaica grapples with the aftermath of Hurricane Gilbert,

Hurricanes, powerful tropical storms characterized by strong winds and heavy rains, significantly impact both Jamaica and other regions around the world. In Jamaica, hurricanes often bring severe weather conditions that can cause widespread damage to infrastructure, disrupt daily life, and lead to economic challenges. Globally, hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and move towards land, affecting various regions with varying intensities. Preparing for and responding to hurricanes involves comprehensive planning, including early warning systems, evacuation procedures, and community preparedness, to mitigate their devastating effects and ensure safety.
