Jamaica's Parishes and Civil Registration Districts
Jamaican registration districts Jamaica’s parishes and civil registration districts [updated 2010 Aug 15] (adapted from a Wikimedia Commons image) Parishes were established as administrative districts at the English conquest of 1655. Though the boundaries have changed over the succeeding centuries, parishes remain Jamaica’s fundamental civil administrative unit. The three counties of Cornwall (green, on the map above), Middlesex (pink), and Surrey (yellow) have no administrative relevance. The present parishes were consolidated in 1866 with the re-division of eight now- extinct entities, none of which will have civil records. A good historical look at the parishes as they changed over time may be found on the privately compiled “Jamaican Parish Reference,” http://prestwidge.com/river/jamaicanparishes.html (cited 2010 Jul 1). Civil registration of vital records was mandated in 1878. For civil recording, parishes were subdivided into named registration districts. Districts record births, marriages (but not divorces), and deaths since the mandate. Actual recording might not have begun in a district until several years later after 1878. An important comment on Jamaican civil records may be found in the administrative history available on the Registrar General’s Department Website at http://apps.rgd.gov.jm/history/ (cited 2010 Jul 1). This list is split into halves: 1) a list of parishes with their districts organized alphabetically by code; and 2) an alphabetical index of district names as of the date below the title. As the Jamaican population grows and districts are added, the list of registration districts lengthens. The parish code lists are current to about 1995. Registration districts created after that date are followed by the parish name rather than their district code. -

Introduction
Environmental Impact Assessment Environmental Solutions Ltd. Executive Summary Introduction The Government of Jamaica through the National Water Commission (NWC) intends to effect improvements in the potable water supply for the Greater Spanish Town (GST) and Southeast St. Catherine (SESC) sections of the Kingston Metropolitan Area (KMA), with financial assistance from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). These sections of the KMA are presently supplied by a number of sources within St. Catherine, including the Rio Cobre Scheme (constructed in the early 1970’s) and wells in Greater Spanish Town and Southeast St. Catherine. The current state of repair of all existing production and relift pumping facilities is poor while existing service storage reservoirs and tanks exhibit some deficiencies. Currently, about 95% of the population within Greater Spanish Town and SE St. Catherine has access to piped water but supply can be variable, with some NWC customers receiving water only for a few hours each day on occasion. Current “maximum month” water demand in Greater Spanish Town is estimated at some 63.5 Mega-Litres per day (Mld) or 13.98 migd and this is projected to rise to some 90.6 Mld (19.94 migd) in 2026 (the project design year). With current available supply of some 58.2 Mld (12.82 migd) there is a current deficit of some 5.3 Mld (1.82 migd). In the absence of the proposed capital works of the Project (but assuming some reduction of leakage as a result of ongoing in-house NWC initiatives) the deficit will rise by 2026 to some 32.4 Mld (7.12 migd). -
Jamaica Fao Country Report
JAMAICA FAO COUNTRY REPORT 1.0 Introduction To The Country And Its Agricultural Sector: Size: Jamaica has a total land area of 10991 Sq.Km. making it the third largest Caribbean Island. The maximum length of the Island is 234.95 Km and the width varies from 35.4 – 82 Km. Geographical Location World Position: Jamaica enjoys a favourable location in relation to the western world. As demonstrated in Figure 1, the total landmass of the Americas, most of Europe and much of North and West Africa lie within a hemisphere centred on Jamaica, that is, within a 9 654 kilometres radius of the country. This hemisphere represents the major portion of the world’s economic activity and markets, although inhabited by less than half of the world’s population. Almost all of Jamaica’s cultural and economic associations are with countries in this hemisphere. Western Europe is within 9 654 kilometres, while Eastern Canada and the United States are well within 3 218 kilometres. A further advantage is provided because direct travel distance lines to those three areas are mostly over water which is the cheapest form of commercial transportation. The increasing use and improvement of aircraft make straight-line distance from Jamaica to other places in the world very pertinent. The closest link with North America is Miami, some 965 kilometres to the north. Such major cities as New York, Montreal, Toronto and Mexico City are from 2 414 kilometres to 3 218 kilometres flying distance; Rio de Janeiro in South America, Dakar in Africa and London and Madrid in Europe are 6 436 kilometres to 8 045 kilometres distant; Tokyo, Cape Town and New Delhi are 12 872 to 14 481 kilometres; Singapore and Sydney are 16 090 to 17 699 kilometres away. -

Rebuilding Homes and Livelihoods in Jamaica After Hurricane Dean C A
Rebuilding homes and livelihoods in Jamaica after Hurricane Dean Case study Background On 19 August 2007, Hurricane Dean caused major destruction to Jamaica as a category 4 hurricane. Its winds caused extensive damage to infrastructure and International Federation property along the eastern and southern Jamaican coastline. The Jamaica Red Cross Society carried out ten assessment missions between 21 and 22 August in coordination with members of other humanitarian organizations operating on the ground. The assessments identified 3,272 destroyed houses, 16,650 houses with major damage, and 18,053 houses with minor damage. In total 160,000 people were affected and four people died as a result of the hurricane. Flooding was limited to eastern Jamaica, where the ground had become saturated by rain the previous week, severely affecting the banana crop. The Jamaica Red Cross Society had pre-positioned non- food emergency relief items throughout the country for Hurricane Dean caused widespread destruction of immediate distribution and Red Cross volunteers shelter and livelihoods. distributed food and drinking water during the assessments. The Jamaica Red Cross Society quickly application for funding from the European Commission identified the need for additional relief supplies from the Humanitarian Aid Department (ECHO). The process International Federation to reach over 1,200 families. built on the detailed knowledge that the Red Cross branch staff and volunteers had of the affected During the weeks following the hurricane, the Jamaica communities and served to verify needs, map Red Cross Society began the process of evaluating the vulnerability and damage, and prepare beneficiary lists. longer-term needs of the affected population. -
Negril & West Coast
© Lonely Planet Publications 216 Negril & West Coast NEGRIL & WEST COAST NEGRIL & WEST COAST In the 1970s, Negril lured hippies with its offbeat beach-life to a countercultural Shangri-la where anything goes. To some extent anything still goes here, but the innocence left long ago. To be sure, the gorgeous 11km-long swath of sand that is Long Beach is still kissed by the serene waters into which the sun melts every evening in a riot of color that will transfix even the most jaded. And the easily accessible coral reefs offer some of the best diving in the Caribbean. At night, rustic beachside music clubs keep the reggae beat going without the watered-down- for-tourist schmaltz that so often mars the hotspots of Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. Yet these undeniable attractions have done just that – attract. In the last three decades, Negril has exploded as a tourist venue, and today the beach can barely be seen from Nor- man Manley Blvd for the intervening phalanx of beachside resorts. And with tourism comes the local hustle – you’re very likely to watch the sunset in the cloying company of a ganja dealer or an aspiring tour-guide-cum-escort. The less-developed West End lies on the cliffs slightly to the south of Long Beach. Here smaller, more characterful hotels mingle with intimate jerk shacks and lively bars, and it’s much easier to mix with locals without the perpetual sense of just being seen as an exten- sion of your wallet. The sunset’s just as magnificent from the cliffs, and you’ll probably get a better idea of what Negril was like 40 years ago. -
