Chairman of the Private Sector Coordination Committee, Senator Keith Duncan, says the private sector has been working in different areas to support the Hurricane Melissa relief efforts across the island. He notes that, to date, support has been extended to the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) in developing its hub-and-spoke system for relief distribution, including logistical assistance.
“We have provided warehouse space, we’re providing equipment, trucking and transportation as they build out this multipurpose distribution model across Jamaica. We’re mobilising for access… we’re bringing in chainsaws because we don’t have enough chainsaws and there are no more chainsaws in Jamaica,” the Chairman stated.
