  1. Previous hurricanes have showcased poor drainage system 🤷🏽‍♀️ and yet it is the same sanky. At what point will the government take action? 🤨

  2. Some people build houses in areas that are prone to disaster and the government alow it no drainage can contain some flooding

  3. Generally people block the drains by throwing empty bottles, cans, plastic etc here there and everywhere. We see the evidence of this when we have heavy rains. If everyone did their part in disposing of their rubbish responsibly we’d see a big difference. Too many nasty, indisciplined and irresponsible people around. Same same same every year, nothing changes.

  4. Look at all these issues,what if the storm or hurricane did actually hit Jamaica in full force.nothing wouldn’t leave.😲🥺

  5. It is clear that the geology of some areas is not suitable for building permanent housing; they need more planned communities with proper infrastructure. Did you see that road that washed away; you can spend an endless amount of money, and you will always have that same problem after any significant weather event.

  6. People living in communities must take more responsibility to see that proper drainage is maintained. They’re the ones being affected all the time. Politicians pass through every now & then. They have no where to go.

    1. A lot of them are to be blamed because simply put they are NASTY, they are the ones disposing of garbage improperly.

  7. The lady is right the government don’t care, the apposition don’t care 🤷 , Jamaicans need to stand up stand up. What about the safety of those people and kids, y not secure the safety of the people off Jamaica 🇯🇲, The main purpose of a government is to provide infrastructure protect the people education 🔥 and more not to look out for your self, it’s sad what Jamaicans or going through. Lesson to Teflon Don interview
