AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Disaster Preparedness: Jamaica is boosting hurricane readiness with a new GeoConnect data governance framework, a single secure platform meant to help ministries share and cross-check damage assessments in real time, reducing duplication of benefits after Hurricane Melissa. Shelter Funding: Minister Desmond McKenzie announced an extra $60 million for municipal corporations to improve emergency shelter accommodations, including bedding supplies, and said the ministry is shifting toward building larger shelters in at least three parishes—Clarendon, St Elizabeth and Westmoreland—with plans for energy-efficient facilities. Air Quality Alert: NEPA says Saharan dust has pushed up PM2.5 levels in parts of Kingston and St Andrew, though readings stayed below the daily standard; officials urge vulnerable people to limit exposure. Local Infrastructure: The National Works Agency will close a section of Long Lane in St Andrew near Lane Landings from Friday night to early Monday for subgrade repair and resurfacing. Public Safety Oversight: The Firearm Licensing Authority says it will review an Integrity Commission report, with special focus on firearm and ammunition storage concerns. Business & Tourism: Dolphin Cove reported a US$2.34m net loss for 2025 after Hurricane Melissa impacts and related bankruptcy write-downs.
