Increase the frequency of vegetation clearance cycles to ensure overgrowth and broken/fallen vegetation is cleared before storms.
Rocky in-stream techniques (e.g., riffles, spurs) involve constructing rocks strategically in streams to help dissipate water energy and reduce flooding. Work with relevant agencies and
Encourage utilities to bury overhead transmission and distribution lines to reduce downed wires and limit health and safety concerns associated with live wires, particularly in
Modify the slope gradient by redistributing soil or rock mass or creating flat or gently sloping areas on steep slopes to minimize landslide potential.
Develop a system that allows community members to voluntarily report obstructions (e.g., through an app).
