Disaster & Resilience: ODPEM signed a GeoConnect data governance MOU to speed real-time hurricane damage assessments and reduce duplicate benefits; Jamaica also plans a new building code this year requiring Category 5-ready construction and stricter enforcement. Cybersecurity Governance: Cabinet will consider creating the NCCAC to coordinate national cybersecurity, including a 24/7 incident reporting “front door” and a new National Cybersecurity Act within set timelines.

Hurricane Season Readiness: Liberty Caribbean says it has strengthened network resilience and emergency response ahead of the June 1 start. Justice & Governance: Opposition MP Zuleika Jess renewed calls for JP stipends, arguing “justice cannot run on charity alone,” and also flagged a “crisis in the courts” in hurricane-hit western parishes. Forex: US$ ended at J$159.11.
