Prime Minister Dr. Andrew Holness is encouraging Jamaicans to strengthen preparedness ahead of the start of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season.

The season which runs for six months begins on June 1.

Dr. Holness is urging individuals to take the time now to assess their homes and communities rather than waiting until a storm threat develops.

The Prime Minister is also encouraging persons to inspect generators, emergency food supplies and roofs while weather conditions remain favourable.

He was speaking during the Opening Ceremony for the Labour Day National Project at the Lewis Town Early Childhood Institution (ECI) in Brompton, St. Elizabeth yesterday.

The theme was ‘One People, One Purpose, In all things, Jamaica wins.’
