Jamaica's Disaster Response & Monitoring System

One operations centre for every hazard the island faces.

Live sensor monitoring, disaster-event management, critical-asset risk scoring and real-time alerts — all on a single map for the whole of Jamaica.

Overview

What this platform is

A public-safety platform that brings every hazard the island faces onto a single live map and operations centre.

🛡️ The system

Jamaica's Disaster Response & Monitoring System is built to help authorities and the public stay ahead of the hazards that affect the island — flooding, hurricanes, storm surge, landslides, seismic activity, road incidents and infrastructure failures.

It pulls live river, rainfall, storm-surge, wind and seismic readings, USGS earthquakes and NHC hurricane tracks, parish-level damage reports and crowd-sourced incident reports — and presents them together on one map.

🌐 Who it is for

The public map is free for every Jamaican and visitor to use — open from any phone, tablet or computer, nothing to install.

Maintained by Wocom Limited. The operations centre is restricted to authorised operators at responding agencies (ODPEM, NWA, JFB, MOH, JPS, NWC, NSWMA). For partnership or technical enquiries, see the contact page.

🚧 Report a hazard

Anyone can report a hazard from the Quick Report page — choose what you are seeing, drop your location and add a photo. Reports are reviewed by moderators before they appear on the public map, so the information stays trustworthy.

False reports waste responder time — please submit only what you have witnessed.
