The Aftermath of Hurricane Melissa In Jamaica

 I finally got to speak to some more family in Jamaica today. Thank God for their lives and health and strength! My concern is this, do you all think some of these constituencies are too large? Take for example where my family lives. The people say their MP is Dayton Campbell. I see videos of him getting aid from helicopters that landed in another area of his constituency yet this food, water and medical supplies have not reached my family in the hills yet. I even hear there are dead bodies still trapped under fallen houses and debris and the funeral homes can't get to them. Then there are dead livestock everywhere. This sounds like a recipe for possible epidemic outbreaks. Diseases like typhoid, malaria, dengue sometimes happen after large natural disasters. Is it possible that the size of the terrain is too large for Dayton Campbell and it may need to be divided in order for another MP to be elected? Because if he has territories in Westmoreland, and it stretches all the way up to the hills of Northwestern St Elizabeth where my family lives, is it that because of the geography of the area, and the tiny roads that I remember only a donkey, or motor bike can fit, that they need to develop a strategy to reach people in these areas in the event of disasters such as this? The majority of people in this area are farmers and depend on the land for food. If yam takes at least 6 months to harvest, does this mean that in 6 months there will be massive starvation in this community? Since the MPs are overwhelmed, how can we all plan to ensure that since the farmers are not able to plant right now, there wont be famine in the upcoming months after all the foreign help has left? These are the people that feed Jamaica. The farmers that live high up in the mountains of St Elizabeth. How can we help them so they can help Jamaica. This means in 6 months we are going to see the prices of food going up again because there is no produce from the farming communities and the government will have to import food. If you are going to comment on this post please offer practical suggestions and not just respond using your emotions thank you.
