The city of Miramar is stepping in to support Jamaica as Hurricane Melissa edges closer to the island.
On Sunday, officials announced that six drop-off locations have opened across the city for residents and businesses to donate life-saving supplies. Items being collected include tarps, flashlights, non-perishable food, and personal care essentials.
The appeal comes as supermarkets in Jamaica are already seeing panic buying and empty shelves, with residents snapping up whatever food and emergency supplies they can find in preparation for the storm.
All six Miramar donation sites are operating 24 hours a day, and residents can find the exact locations in the flyer below.
City leaders say every contribution counts as Jamaicans prepare for what could be a dangerous and destructive impact from Hurricane Melissa.
