Emergency Aid Needed: Respond to Catastrophic Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica
The Crisis on the Ground - NGO Discounts Available
Jamaica has been struck by Hurricane Melissa, a catastrophic Category 5 storm—one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record. With 185 mph winds, Melissa has decimated infrastructure, triggered massive landslides, and left 77% of the country's power customers in the dark. Prime Minister Andrew Holness acknowledged, "There is no infrastructure in the region that can withstand a Category 5." Whole communities, like St. Elizabeth, are reported to be "underwater." Families are trapped by floodwaters, hospitals are damaged, and the noise of destruction is relentless. The people of Jamaica are facing a crisis of unprecedented scale, and their safety and survival depend on immediate action. We are mobilizing emergency supplies and rescue operations right now, but we cannot do it without you.
We are deploying highly portable SunCase power units paired with up to 400W of high-efficiency solar panels. This setup allows first responders, aid workers, and affected families to generate critical power instantly, wherever they are. During the daytime, these units harness the sun to fully recharge their battery reserves. Once the sun sets, they can provide silent, zero-emission power through the night for essential needs like:
- Charging vital satellite communication equipment for rescue teams.
- Running medical refrigeration to keep temperature-sensitive medicines viable.
- Powering emergency lighting and fans in temporary shelters.
- Keeping phones and radios charged for families to connect with loved ones and receive critical updates.
