Hurricane Melissa is Jamaica’s strongest-ever storm to directly hit its shores, and the first major hurricane to do so since 1988. For years to come, rebuilding and fortifying infrastructure to meet the demands of a changing climate will be a challenging journey. Join now to support Simone’s relief efforts.
