Damage Preliminary cost of damage is put at $76.18 million (Table 21). Damage within the tourism sector was greatest in Negril and the South Coast Resort Areas, Montego Bay, and Port Antonio. There were also reports of various attractions island-wide being affected. The most frequently reported impacts included: damage to buildings (roofs, windows, awnings, and furnishings); damage to boats and other vessels; littering of properties and public areas with sea weed; extensive beach erosion; flooding; car parks completely covered by flood waters; and extensive vegetative and landscape damage due to floods and heavy winds. In Negril, there was extensive physical damage to properties and beaches. It was estimated that approximately 80-90 per cent of properties experienced severe structural damage (roofs, windows, awnings, furnishings, etc.). Several structures received internal damage due leaking roofs while in other cases, damage was done to swimming pools and pumps. Fallen trees, silt build up and debris were a feature on all properties. There was damage to beaches and it was reported that there was significant loss of sand from some beaches including those at Shield Negril, Negril Tree House and Charleta. The South Coast Resort Area experienced physical damage ranging from moderate to extensive with extensive physical damage to properties due to flooding. Treasure Beach and surrounding areas, such as Little Ochie were among the most badly affected. Major infrastructure damage was reported for hotels and attractions. Various areas suffered loss due to rapid flood waters and landslides. In St. Elizabeth, in particular, most properties experienced severe structural damage with the roof of at least one property being lost. Approximately four properties were forced to cease operations. 41
