In a significant show of regional solidarity, Dominica’s sole electricity provider, DOMLEC, has dispatched a five-member team to Jamaica to assist in recovery efforts following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa. The team, part of the Caribbean Disaster Assistance Programme (CDAP) under CARILEC, will spend one month in Jamaica, focusing on restoring power and rebuilding infrastructure. The team comprises Julie Paul as Team Leader, along with Earl Matthew, Wilbert Moise, Isaiah Phillip, and Delan John Baptiste, all skilled linemen. DOMLEC expressed its support for the team, wishing them safe travels and success in their mission. This initiative is part of a broader regional response led by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), which has mobilized resources and agencies such as the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), and the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) to aid Jamaica’s recovery. Jamaica’s Prime Minister and CARICOM Chairman, Dr. Andrew Holness, emphasized the importance of regional coordination in rebuilding resilient infrastructure and safeguarding public health. CDEMA’s Executive Director, Elizabeth Riley, highlighted the agency’s ongoing efforts, including multi-sector assessments conducted by the Rapid Needs Assessment Team (RNAT) in collaboration with international organizations like UNICEF and the World Food Programme. These evaluations will inform Jamaica’s comprehensive recovery strategy across critical sectors such as agriculture, health, housing, and tourism.
