Hurricane Melissa is now a powerful Category 5 storm heading towards Jamaica and other Caribbean islands. Because it's moving slowly, some areas will face more rainfall and floodwaters, which could devastate homes, communities, and livelihoods.
We're responding alongside several international Red Cross societies. Here's what's happening:
- We're supporting the U.S. Navy's efforts to relocate people from military installations in the storm's path and ensuring that those who had to leave quickly have essentials, like baby supplies.
- The Jamaica Red Cross has already mobilized volunteers and pre-positioned disaster supplies so help can reach people as soon as the storm passes.
- In Hispaniola and Cuba, local Red Cross teams are evacuating families to safer areas, providing mental health support, and working with local officials on their response.
This storm is striking regions already burdened by poverty and recent disasters. As the full impact of Hurricane Melissa unfolds, Red Cross teams will be there to bring relief to those who need it most.

Just look at those puppy dog eyes. 🥺
Lazlo is a therapy dog with the @RedCrossNorCal region's animal visitation team. She visits places like VA hospitals to bring comfort and emotional support to those who need it.
Lazlo becomes known as the 'zen' therapy dog to everyone she meets!

This is a glimpse of our work in communities affected by Hurricane Helene. As each day passes, we are committed to working around the clock to support and reach more neighborhoods as conditions improve.
At this shelter in Asheville, North Carolina, Red Cross disaster teams are helping people who have no place to go feel safe and comfortable.
Amid extensive power outages and connectivity issues, people have access to warm meals, a safe place to sleep, items like diapers and hygiene items, and mental health resources through our spiritual care team, including a Red Cross therapy dog.
Each community across several states is facing different struggles and the timeline for recovery will be different. We will be there in the days and weeks to come to support their road to recovery. ❤️ #Helene
