Environmental impacts of Hurricane Dean included damage to coastal and inland ecosystems from storm surge, and defoliation; destruction of wildlife habitats, landslides and vegetation damage (Table 2). Due to the southerly path taken by the hurricane, most of the impacts occurred in the southern part of the country. The parishes experiencing the worst environmental damage were Portland; Clarendon; Manchester; St. Elizabeth; Hanover and Westmoreland; St. Thomas; Kingston & St. Andrew and St. Catherine.
