As the Jamaica Public Service pushes to carry out the last stages of restoration in the wake of Hurricane Melissa in October 2025, the company is again reminding customers to ensure that they prepare their homes and businesses to safely receive supply. 

Customers who experienced flooding, high winds or structural damage should be especially vigilant, the JPS said.

“With flooding, water may have entered the sockets or wiring; high wind speeds may have dislodged or damaged the pothead; and structural damage such as cracked walls or a damaged roof, or any other kind of damage, could prevent them from safely receiving electricity,” JPS advised. 

The JPS said customers should have a licensed electrician examine their premises and inform them of whether they will need to be recertified by the Government Electrical Regulator. If so, customers may reach out to the Jamaica Social Investment Fund for assistance.

JPS said it remains committed to restoring all remaining customers as quickly and safely as possible.
