Some residents lost livelihoods or had their livelihood interrupted. Many of these persons were in the agricultural sector and were banana, vegetable and livestock farmers. Severely Affected Communities Source: ODPEM NEOC The impact of Tropical Storm Nicole and associated rains was felt throughout Jamaica but tremendous damage was sustained in the parishes along the southeast through to southwest corridor and southern sections of northern parishes. The level of flooding or damage sustained in the impacted areas appears to have been directly related to the geomorphology, location and the nature of development undertaken in these areas. The areas affected were either located on alluvial fans, at the base of mountains (where the denuded hillsides lead to debris flows) or in karst terrain. The communities listed in Table 5 were the worst affected. 12
