Floods in Jamaica occur annually due to heavy rainfall and tropical cyclones. Rivers such as the Rio Cobre, Yallahs, and Black River overflow during heavy rainfall, which leads to flooding. Approximately 40% of the population is affected by flooding during severe events. Major floods, particularly those caused by hurricanes or tropical storms, result in fatalities, displacement, and economic losses. The 2004 Caribbean floods, caused by a low-pressure system, led to over $100 million in damages. The 2010 flooding from Tropical Storm Nicole resulted in 16 deaths and damages exceeding $245 million.
Over the past five decades, Jamaica has recorded more than 200 flood events. The average annual economic loss has been estimated at approximately USD 120 million from hurricanes and USD 62 million from floods. Of the 827 communities across the country, around 32% are situated in areas identified as flood-prone.

Floods in Chad occur annually due to heavy seasonal rainfall between May and October. Rivers such as the Chari and Logone overflow, leading to surface runoff in low-lying areas. The country's drainage infrastructure and flat topography lead to flood risk, particularly in urban and agricultural regions. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the 2022 floods affected approximately 1.06 million people across 18 of Chad's 23 provinces, displaced around 139,000 individuals, and damaged over 465,000 hectares of cropland. Approximately 456 schools and 84 health centers were damaged. The World Bank and other humanitarian agencies estimated economic losses from the 2022 floods at over USD 400 million. Floods in 2020 and 2024 also caused displacement and infrastructure damage, indicating a pattern of frequent and severe flood events in Chad.
