Narrative:
After block in we left the parking brake set and the electric hydraulic B pump on. Parking check was complete. The cabin door was open and passengers were deplaning. The captain (ca) and I were packing our bags for an hour turn with a plane change. A gust of wind pushed the plane several feet from the jetway. The ca got up to assist the fight attendants. I attempted to call ops; nobody answered. I then called maintenance and advised them we would need their assistance and ask them to contact operations. I then called ramp to advise them the wind had moved us off the gate and to remind inbound aircraft to keep brakes set (ours remained set after parking and was still set). Maintenance was able to bring the jetway back to the aircraft so the passengers could finish deplaning. The captain made a logbook entry due to cabin door damage.
