Jamaica is preparing for Hurricane Melissa. The category 5 hurricane is the strongest storm on the planet this year — and it could become the strongest storm ever to hit Jamaica. The country has issued mandatory evacuation orders for people living in coastal areas, but there are concerns that not enough people have left their homes. We speak with two people who are getting ready for when the storm hits — and working on relief efforts for their communities, as officials are warning the storm will bring “catastrophic” damages to communities and infrastructure.
