Flow Jamaica reports that internet, cable and phone services have been restored to fixed customers in 65 per cent of communities affected by Hurricane Beryl, which struck the island last Wednesday.
Since the hurricane hit, Flow has been focused on restoring connectivity to as many people as possible in the shortest time possible.
Flow was making repairs to priority mobile sites as of Wednesday, expanding mobile coverage islandwide to 88%. The company also said it had repaired 73% of its damaged cables.
These figures are expected to improve as the company mobilizes all resources, including assistance from its parent company, Liberty Latin America, to quickly restore service.
The company said it would now focus on restoring service to St Elizabeth, one of many parishes that was hit by Beryl on July 3, causing widespread damage to homes, businesses and agriculture.
Flow said Wednesday that recovery efforts are focused on Watchwell to Pedro, Top Hill to Junction, Flagaman to Top Hill, Black River to White House and surrounding areas.
Meanwhile, Frow also began humanitarian work in St Elizabeth.
According to the company, team members visited Black River and neighboring communities on Wednesday to distribute relief supplies and vouchers to residents hardest hit by Hurricane Beryl.
The company has also partnered with World Central Kitchen, which has delivered more than 8,000 meals to people in St Elizabeth, Clarendon and Manchester through the Cable and Wireless Charitable Foundation.
Additionally, in cases where there is no electricity, Flow dispatches mobile units to some communities to provide charging services.
