Employ cameras and sensors to help monitor and prepare for a variety of storm events. For example, sensors could be used to monitor rainfall, runoff,
Install geosynthetic filtering fabrics (i.e., geotextiles, geogrids, geocells) to reinforce soil.
Install reinforcing elements such as soil nails into the soil in a grid pattern to increase overall slope stability. Soil nails are typically threaded steel
Install retention/detention ponds and bioswales (or biofiltration swales) to collect, redirect, and filter stormwater.
Install swales and ditches to help improve stormwater drainage. This can also include implementing contouring or rain gardens to reduce surface runoff which can help
