===Jamaica=== Lili affected Jamaica as a strengthening tropical storm. Wind gusts in excess of {{convert|70|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} and rainfall over {{convert|2|ft|m}} resulted in damage to homes, crops, and utility systems.<ref name="TCR"/><ref name="jamaicamon"/> Extremely heavy rainfall inundated the island. Cedar Valley recorded the most rainfall, with {{convert|23.1|in|mm}} measured. This led to prolific flooding that triggered mudslides across the island and killed four people. These floods decimated the island's sugar cane crop, one of the island's principal exports.<ref name="jamaicamon"/> The resultant flooding caused widespread problems with the infrastructure of the island. All of the island's hospitals had flood damage, and three were also dealt structural damage by the strong winds.<ref name="jamaica2">{{Cite web|author=Pan American Health Organization|title=Hurricane Lili in the Caribbean|publisher=World Health Organization|year=2002|access-date=2008-04-06|url=http://www.paho.org/English/DD/PED/lili-hur.htm|archive-date=2005-04-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050416022342/https://www.paho.org/English/DD/PED/lili-hur.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> The flooding caused latrines and other sewage sources to overflow into the intake sources for the water supply, leading to fear of disease.<ref name="jamaica2"/>
