In response to the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Melissa, the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) has announced the deployment of a specialized team to Jamaica. According to a media release issued on November 8, the team will focus on restoring electricity in the most severely affected regions. The send-off ceremony for the team is scheduled for November 10, with Minister of Public Utilities Barry Padarath, Minister in the Ministry of Public Utilities Clyde Elder, and Parliamentary Secretary Shivanna Sam in attendance. Additionally, a contingent of 20 soldiers from Trinidad and Tobago will be dispatched to Jamaica in the coming days to assist in relief efforts. Hurricane Melissa, which made landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 storm on October 28, caused widespread devastation across several parishes, including St Elizabeth, Westmoreland, Hanover, Manchester, St James, Trelawny, and St Ann. The hurricane resulted in 32 fatalities in Jamaica and 43 in neighboring Haiti, along with millions in damages. The Trinidad and Tobago government, in collaboration with civil society and private sector organizations, has already sent multiple shipping containers of essential supplies, including food and construction tools, to aid in recovery efforts. An inter-ministerial committee has also been established to coordinate national relief initiatives.
