Holness said in the lower house of the Caribbean Nation the $ 6BN to $ 7bn estimate is conservative, based on the economic damages can be reduced by 8% to 13%.
The Prime Minister warned that the costs will push up Jamaica’s debt ratio and that his government will activate emergency provisions that temporarily suspend fiscal rules. The security, whose government has set up credit and insurance provisions for a storm similar to Hurricane Beryl last year from financial agencies, regional agencies and development agencies and the private sector.
“Experts have described Melissa as being on the edge of what could be in the Atlantic Ocean, a storm driven by ocean temperatures,” he said. “Its energy was so great that seismographs hundreds of miles away registered its path.”
“Hurricane Melissa wasn’t just a tragedy: it was a warning.”
Melissa is riding in the agricultural heartlands of Jamaica, which was hit by hurricanes last year, which lawmakers say could push up food prices. It has also torn up parts of the country’s main tourism corridor.
Lawmakers also say thousands of tourism workers are out of a job.
Scientists say that the stronger the release of fuel emissions are heating the surface of the oceans, providing fuel for new storms. Caribbean leaders have long called for reparations from rich countries that are burdened with debt relief or relief.
Holness has pledged to rebuild infrastructure to withstand the worsening effects of climate change, including moving parts of the electric grid underground. He also provided tax relief for some relief products like solar panels and starlink kits.
“Every bridge repaired, house restored and road rebuilt should be designed for tomorrow’s storms, not yesterday’s storms,” he said.
By Tuesday, Melissa’s confirmed death toll rose to 75, while the official count in Haiti rose to 43, with 13 more missing, adding to Jamaica’s 32 confirmed deaths.
Haiti was not directly hit, but days of rain set in that flooded rivers.
In a Haitian town, 25 people died, including 10 children. Almost 12,000 houses were flooded, roads were left impassable and communities lost access to drinking water. Both countries expect the number to rise as more bodies are recovered.
Holness said more than 30 Jamaican communities were cut off by damage to roads and bridges. He said that response efforts were hampered by shortages of helicopters, social workers, doctors and engineers, and that this underlined the need to be careful in future storms.
Cuban authorities evacuated hundreds of thousands of people last week as Melissa made landfall near its second-largest city, Santiago. They did not mention the dead, but the extensive damage to houses, crops and infrastructure.
Experts in the US forecaster Accowase Accoweather estimated damages in the whole $ 48bn to $ 52bn.
