Montego Bay, Jamaica, December 4th, 2012, (Panos) - High in the Blue Mountains in Jamaica, Claverty Cottage and Clifton Hill are two adjoining remote communities, which were severely affected by Tropical Storm Nicole in 2010. Many roofs were damaged or completely blown off.
For this community, the application of the Safer Houses methodology resulted in homes still standing during subsequent weather events including Hurricane Sandy this year.
