Jamaica's Prime Minister Andrew Holness has stated that the country is now transitioning into the 'second phase of this disaster' following the impact of Hurricane Beryl. The storm brought heavy rainfall and hurricane-force winds to the island on Wednesday, causing significant damage to coastal infrastructure in certain areas.
Prime Minister Holness reported that storm surges have led to the displacement of some individuals, who are currently seeking refuge in shelters. While the immediate danger has passed, there is still a concern for potential flooding, landslides, and road damage due to ongoing heavy rainfall.
