United Cajun Navy aids Jamaica ahead of Hurricane Melissa with search and rescue and aid delivery.

Members of the United Cajun Navy have deployed to Jamaica ahead of Hurricane Melissa, with three team members on the ground conducting search and rescue amid safety concerns. Six more are set to arrive after the storm passes. The group is supported by nonprofits and airlines delivering essential supplies, leveraging surplus resources from a quiet U.S. hurricane season. Officials warn that life-threatening storm surges and weeks-long power outages could rapidly deplete aid, making swift response critical.
