Without vision the people perish. After so many years of running up and down behind politicians and political parties these people didn't seek to rectify this flooding issue..
In Canada where I live(Brampton) there are mandatory ponds made to prevent flooding. This area use to flood. I visited my birth country 4 years ago and was very embarrassed by the thousands of plastic bottles discarded around the island. Everywhere. These plastic bottle causes blockages in the drainage system. Government of Jamaica your infrastructure need improving. What do the people do with these empty water bottle. $ to return bottles would solve part of the problems. Factories would lead to jobs. Go back to box containers and ban plastic bottles if you are not going to improve the bad system in place. My birth country you were not like this in my childhood. We use to be a more respectful people. Litterbugs?
Port Mario lies below sea level. Very little that government can do except to encourage people live on higher ground. Use the town as a commercial zone. Not as a residential area.
Take heed, the rains will become more frequent and more severe. This is a sign of global warming or climate chaos. This situation is not unique to Jamaica. Climate crisis must be taken seriously. Coastal communities are vulnerable. Seawall is only a temporary fix.
God say's he only tip the scale of the business people in port maria. He say the next time they won't be able to saved anything.. Port Maria business people you all need to balance your scale.. the good a super for the bad .
There is a lot of rain overseas working eruptions overseas that's right here in Jamaica there's a lot of rain so we have to go to sleep near the airport because there is not going to be a big big disaster that we might have to keep in the sky and go to Cayman
This is not the first time it happened I remember one old woman telling me that from she was a child it always flooded and she was 85 years old she died now may her soul rest in peace. So they are taking rubbish 🗑
Repent! Please. Christ told us the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Our Father in heaven sent his only begotten son to die for our sins, rose on the 3rd day and all who believe shall be saved. Read your bible, pray and open your heart to him. Peace and blessings to you all. 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾.

Glad to see the community coming together during this disaster.
They must build the sea walls higher.
The Mayor a WASTE of time only talking NO action.
Well said
The Mayor needs funds to solve the problem sir. He's in the rain and water, just as the residents.

So Brampton is any better
1. ANY DRAINAGE PLAN IS BETTER THAN NO DRAINAGE PLAN!
2. What more "Detailed Assessment" do you need? Sounds like a cash grab to me...
The wicked that one in Jamaica from the bigger heads trust me oh ,no what's going on that is a part of God of work 🙏
TOO MUCH WICKEDNESS
True to form, my people tek every ting fi joke! The Most High is not laughing!
So it's been going "every two years" ... what? Keep waiting and watching? More detailed assessment right there. 😐
Government to build good, proper infrastructure
Hope the Government will move quickly really serious
Is electricity off or on .?.
Well then. Good luck Mr. Mayor. You better get to it before Port Maria is completely flooded out.
Building without proper drainage systems... water has no where to go in a concrete jungle
Nigha with the jet skii having a field day
Our Jamaican are very innovative people. We have a survival instinct we only need to obey & seek God and we shall live
It’s about time you all in power stop talking and do. Fix the problem now.
" I never been seen this yet!"
The sea wants to take its place

Lucea will be next
Too much wicked people...God vex
Remember God promised never to destroy using flood again. Low-lying area, lots of rain & no proper draining are the cause.
Probably they should installed a bigger drainage so it take in more water ,at least it's a start.
God say's he only tip the scale of the business people in port maria. He say the next time they won't be able to saved anything.. Port Maria business people you all need to balance your scale.. the good a super for the bad .
so am assuming that the government will foot the bill for all the flood damage to all the big stores and regular people just affi gawn live
Keep your environment clean. Stop dumping your trash just about any and everywhere.
