1. Hurricane Melissa is a Category 5 hurricane, the strongest level on the Saffir-Simpson scale. <\/h3>\n

\nThe storm brings life-threatening winds, flash flooding, and landslides across Jamaica and neighboring countries. The hurricane\u2019s wind speeds of 185 mph make it the second strongest Atlantic storm to ever make landfall.

2. Jamaica faces Hurricane Melissa\u2019s full force. <\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

As of Monday morning, government officials warned of up to 40 inches of rain in parts of Jamaica, likely causing severe flooding and landslides. The island is bracing for widespread power outages and damage to homes, crops, and infrastructure after reports of landslides and fallen trees have already been made.

3. Other Caribbean nations are also at risk.<\/h3>\n

\nSoutheast Cuba will experience hurricane-force winds from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, along with storm surges up to 11 feet, as much as 25 inches of rain, and a high threat of landslides and dangerous flash flooding. By Wednesday, Hurricane Melissa will impact the southeast Bahamas and Turks and Caicos, bringing 4 to 6 feet of storm surge and 5 to 10 inches of rain.

4. Local organizations will be crucial to relief efforts.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

As Hurricane Melissa continues to impact Jamaica and neighboring islands, GlobalGiving\u2019s disaster response team is already hearing from several of our long-standing, community-led partners in the region who are beginning to respond. We will share updates as those activities become clearer in the days ahead.<\/p>\n

5. This fund will support response and recovery efforts led by local organizations in the GlobalGiving partner network.<\/h3>\n

\nThe storm\u2019s impact in Jamaica is especially severe in the country\u2019s \u201cbreadbasket,\u201d where much of its agricultural production takes place, threatening jobs, food access, and key export livelihoods. This makes the work of local partners on the ground particularly critical in both immediate relief and long-term recovery. Here are a few examples of organizations positioned to respond:<\/p>\n

  • I-SEEED Youths Limited<\/a> (Jamaica) works to empower youth, expand access to education, and strengthen sustainable livelihoods. The group has previously supported communities by restoring farms and greenhouses and distributing essential supplies to families in need and plans to provide essential food items in the immediate aftermath and livelihood restoration during long-term recovery\n
  • Blue Atlas (Regional)<\/a> establishes sustainable agriculture hubs as training centers across Jamaica and provides grants for farmers and fishers to restore livelihoods in communities affected by recurring storms. Blue Atlas will be conducting a needs assessment for communities impacted by Melissa with plans to support livelihood restoration for smallholder and subsistence farmers through their SULA Grant Program, which provides targeted funding to repair and update agricultural systems disrupted by disasters.<\/li>\n
  • Caribbean Smart Climate Accelerator (Regional)<\/a> brings together governments, private sector leaders, and civil society to build a climate-smart Caribbean through renewable energy, conservation, and green jobs initiatives. The organization plans to provide direct cash assistance and sub-granting support to agriculture, aquaculture, and environmental restoration grassroots networks on the ground. <\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

    GlobalGiving has a long history of providing support to our community-based partners in affected communities, including in prior responses such as the Hurricane Milton Relief Fund, Hurricane Helene Relief Fund, Hurricane Beryl Relief Fund, and many more. We stand ready to support our responding partners.<\/p>\n

    6. Cash is the best way to help hurricane survivors in the Caribbean.<\/h3>\n

    Why? Survivors\u2019 needs vary greatly throughout the life cycle of recovery. Some will require financial support, medical care, and psychological assistance years down the road. You can learn more about the importance of cash donations in this infographic with more practical tips for helping hurricane survivors.
