The St. James Municipal Corporation is reporting that it is “prepared and ready” for the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season, which starts on June 1. Chairman of the Disaster Preparedness Hazard Mitigation and Safety Committee  and Mayor of Montego Bay, Councillor Leeroy Williams, said that despite the challenges brought  by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic,  the Corporation has the capacity to respond in ensuring public safety in the event of a hurricane. He noted that shelter managers have been trained and equipped with the necessary resources. “We do have 63 shelters across the parish and shelter managers are well prepared. For example, they do have their kits, which include waterboots, raincoats and flashlights. They also have personal protective equipment (PPE) and that would include, of course, masks and hand sanitisers because we also have to look at the COVID-19 spread,” he said.
