🇯🇲 Jamaica Incident Management System

Keeping Jamaica's roads safe — in real time.

JIMS brings live road incidents, closures, cameras, weather and hazard information for the whole island into one map — so every Jamaican and visitor can travel informed and respond quickly when emergencies strike.

Overview

What is JIMS?

A public-safety initiative that puts the whole island's road picture on a single live map.

🛣️ The system

The Jamaica Incident Management System (JIMS) is designed to enhance the safety of all Jamaicans and visitors by enabling rapid response to incidents and emergencies on Jamaica's main road network.

It collects reports of crashes, road closures, flooding, landslides and other hazards, pairs them with traffic cameras, weather radar and emergency tracking, and presents everything together on one live map of the island.

🌐 This web platform

This is the JIMS web platform — the browser-based information map you can open from any phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install.

Please note: the official JIMS mobile app is operated by the National Works Agency (NWA), an executive agency of Jamaica's Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation. This web platform is operated by Virtual Enterprise and delivers the same situational map in the browser.
