The government has activated the National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) in light of impending weather conditions expected to impact the island.
This decision follows consultations with the Met Service.
The government says the Centre is ready to coordinate preparedness and response measures as the situation evolves.
It will focus on mobilizing resources, ensuring effective communication and maintaining readiness to provide support and aid to communities that may be affected.
Local Government Minister Desmond McKenzie says every possible resource is being placed at the disposal of emergency response teams to ensure the safety and well-being of every Jamaican.
