Hurricane Melissa impacted Jamaica as a Category 5 cyclone, resulting in estimated losses of approximately 41% of national GDP (US$8.8 billion) and eliciting widespread damage to housing, healthcare, agriculture, and urban infrastructure. Agriculture sustained heavy losses, with 41,000 hectares of damaged farmland and the loss of more than 1 million livestock animals. These impacts resulted in exposed animal closures with biological hazards. Using systems thinking, the PESTHEEL framework, and a One Health lens, we argue for viewing Hurricane Melissa as series of cascading inter-related One Health threats of waterborne and vector-borne diseases, zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, degraded indoor and outdoor air quality, chemical pollution, and shifting migration and border dynamics. These each unfold at different timings. A structured synthesis for Jamaica and other Caribbean Small Island Developing States is provided by integrating systems thinking, One Health, and the PESTHEEL framework. Immediate and lagged risk pathways are identified, and practical risk reduction actions are proposed to support anticipatory, multisectoral recovery: enhanced syndromic, laboratory, wastewater, vector, and rodent surveillance; resilient WASH and shelter systems; non-insecticidal and integrated vector management; biosecure aid and border protocols; environmental toxicology monitoring; and climate\u2013health intelligence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v18060605","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]],"date-time":"2026-05-26T13:28:21Z","timestamp":1779802101000},"page":"605","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["From the Eye of the Storm to Epidemiological Footprints After the Floods: Viral, Vector-Borne, and One Health Risks Post-Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3409-870X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kirk O.","family":"Douglas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Biosecurity Studies, The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, St. Michael BB11000, Barbados"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gail","family":"Ranglin-Edwards","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Service Corps, Jamaica Defence Force, Up Park Camp, Kingston 5, Jamaica"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"149","DOI":"10.24043\/isj.52","article-title":"Islandness within climate change narratives of small island developing states (SIDS)","volume":"13","author":"Kelman","year":"2018","journal-title":"Isl.
