Hurricane Melissa Population Impact by Community
The Population by Communities map shows the widespread human impact of Hurricane Melissa across Jamaica. Western parishes were hardest hit, with about 955,807 residents affected, while other regions experienced significant disruption from strong winds, flooding, and infrastructure damage. In total, millions of residents were impacted, and the map helps guide targeted response and recovery efforts.
Hurricane Melissa Infrastructure Impact by Parish
Hurricane Melissa severely impacted Jamaica’s western parishes, Hanover, St. James, Trelawny, St. Ann, Westmoreland, and St. Elizabeth—where communities depend heavily on agriculture, fishing, and natural resources. Strong winds and heavy rainfall damaged homes, infrastructure, and farmlands, while landslides and debris isolated many communities, highlighting areas in need of targeted humanitarian aid, environmental restoration, and recovery efforts.

Spatial mapping of socio-economic issues shows where challenges occur and how they are distributed geographically, helping policymakers make informed and targeted decisions. This understanding allows resources and interventions to be allocated more strategically to the areas that need them most.
Percentages of Adolescents Deliveries by Health Region, 2014
Mapping socio-economic issues at a regional level helps policymakers identify broader patterns and trends while protecting privacy by avoiding the identification of specific locations. This approach supports better planning, coordinated interventions, and more efficient resource allocation, ultimately reducing costs and improving the effectiveness of development efforts.
