These four parishes were identified as the most devastated by Hurricane Sandy in October, 2012. Prior to this deliverable the consultants completed a Findings and Lessons Learnt report which informed the recommendations presented in this deliverable. The Recovery Plan has been divided into five volumes so that each parish plan can be pulled out as a stand-alone document: Volume I presents the contextual setting of the project and introduces the recovery plan. It is expected that Volume I will be utilized by all four parishes. Volume II presents the recovery plan for the parish of St. Thomas. It outlines the hazard vulnerability profile for the parish and presents an overview of the damage assessment which informed the recovery framework, plan and strategic results-based framework. Volume III presents the recovery plan for the parish of Portland. It outlines the hazard vulnerability profile for the parish of Portland and a summary of the damage assessment which informed the recovery framework and plan as well as the strategic results-based framework. Volume IV presents the recovery plan for the parish of St. Mary. It outlines the hazard vulnerability profile for St. Mary and presents an overview of the damage assessment which informed the recovery framework, plan and strategic results-based framework recommended for the parish. Volume V presents the recovery plan for the parish of St. Catherine. It outlines the hazard vulnerability profile for St Catherine, and an overview of the damage assessment which informed the recovery framework and plan, as well as the strategic results-based framework recommended for St. Catherine. This document represents Volume II of the Recovery Plan and focuses on the parish of St. Thomas. ESL Management Solutions Limited 1 Hurricane Sandy Recovery Plan – Volume II November 20, 2013 1.0 ST. THOMAS 1.1 HAZARD VULNERABILITY PROFILE Background The Parish of St. Thomas is located south of the parish of Portland, east of St Andrew, and north of the Caribbean Sea. It has an area of 742.8 square kilometers (286.8 sq mi) and ranks as Jamaica’s 9th largest parish. The parish has a striking orogeny which includes the Port Royal Mountains, stretching from above Newcastle in St. Andrew, to Albion in St. Thomas; the Queensbury Ridge between Yallahs and Negro River; and to the extreme south, an isolated Ridge called Yallahs Hill, which has an elevation of 2,394 feet (730 m) above sea level (Figure 1.1). FIGURE 1.1: GOOGLE IMAGE OF ST. THOMAS St. Thomas has large wetland areas, and several cliffs and beaches characterize the coastal area between Bull Bay in the west and Hector’s River in the east. The parish has an extensive drainage network comprising three main rivers; the Yallahs, Morant and Plantain Garden Rivers (Figure 1.2). Climate Long-term mean parish rainfall for St. Thomas is recorded as 2,288 mm with over 55% of that rainfall occurring in the August to December period (ESL, 2010). Additionally, rainfall is preferentially distributed across the watershed with the higher slopes experiencing 70% of the totals. This factor is one of the reasons most communities in the parish are vulnerable to the effects of intense rainfall. ESL Management Solutions Limited 2 Hurricane Sandy Recovery Plan – Volume II November 20, 2013 FIGURE 1.2: TOPOGRAPHY MAP OF ST. THOMAS Soils and Geology The floodplain alluvium and terrace deposits of the Yallahs fan are up to 80 m thick; in one place it has been found to be as much as 140 m thick. In the region of the new Yallahs new bridge, alluvial sediment thickness is at least 100 m (Baptiste, 1993). The parish consists of several

  • 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.

A list of valleys in Jamaica is shown below. St. James Queen of Spain Valley Trelawny Queen of Spain Valley Hanover Great River Westmoreland Dean St. Catherine Luidas Vale St. Mary St Thomas in the Vale Portland Rio Grande St. Thomas Plantain Garden www.caribbeanexams.com Page 2 Mountains The mountains of the island can be broken up into three main groups. The first group is in the eastern section composed primarily of the Blue Mountain. This group also has the John Crow Mountains and is the most easterly mountain range in the island. They run from north-west to south-east in the parish of Portland and divide the Rio Grande valley from the east coast of the island. The second group or central region is formed chiefly of limestone, and extends from Stony Hill in St Andrew to the Cockpit country. The central range starts from Stony Hill and runs in a north westerly direction through Mammee Hill, Red Hills, Bog Walk, Guy's Hill, Mount Diablo and finally into the Cockpit country. The third group is the western section with Dolphin Head as its centre. www.caribbeanexams.com Page 3 Major Mountains www.caribbeanexams.com Page 4 Rivers Major Rivers in Jamaica www.caribbeanexams.com Page 5 Black River As the main mountain ranges in Jamaica run from west to east, the rivers, which start on their slopes, generally flow north or south.

  • Seaman's Valley and Maroon Material Culture in Jamaica
    SEAMAN'S VALLEY AND MAROON MATERIAL CULTURE IN JAMAICA E. Kofi Agorsah ABSTRACT Seaman's Valley site was one of the few known places in Jamaica where the Maroons came into face to face combat with the colonial military in a battle that featured the largest force ever sent against the Maroons. In that encounter the colonial forces were routed in a total defeat resulting in the abandonment of arms and ammunition and personnel. This paper compares the material culture from the Seaman's Valley site and Nanny Town. This paper will then show the significance of the longstanding strategic relationship between the two locations during the Maroon struggle for freedom and even after peace negotiations were sealed by treaties in the middle of the eighteenth century. Therefore, the Seaman's Valley site is depicted not only as a unique battleground, with a strategic and spatial relationship with Nanny Town in the Blue Mountains. It also, was a special brewing ground for the formation and transformation of Maroon material culture in eastern Jamaica. KEY WORDS: Jamaica, Maroons, Resistance, Seaman's Valley. INTRODUCTION One of the challenges faced by Maroons was the ability to forge new ways of life and new societies and to be able to maintain their hard-won freedom. Nevertheless, only a few Maroon groups survived. Maroon history informs us of how many African-Caribbean movements failed to survive: examples include the Afro-Caribs of Mt. Misery in St. Kitts in the 1630s, the so-called "rebel Negroes" of Barbados in 1648, the Antiguan Maroons of the Shekerley Mountain in 1685 and a small band of Maroons in the Blue Hills of Central Providence of the Bahamas in the 1780s.
