JCF urges public to 'follow instructions'

The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) is urging the public to "follow the instructions of the police and any other emergency personnel" in light of this morning's earthquake

The warning comes as traffic signals across the corporate area have been affected.

"Members of the public are being urged to exercise courtesy and patience at major intersections. All persons should continue to monitor news outlets for further updates," the JCF said in a statement. 

There are also reports of landslides in rural St. Andrew, namely Cane River Road, Dallas Castle Road and Greenvale Road.

"Importantly, members of the public are advised to travel only if necessary as the roadways should be as clear as possible to allow for emergency responders to traverse freely" JCF said
