Plant native vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and grasses along slopes to prevent erosion.
Modify channels to improve stream conditions and reduce flooding. Work with relevant agencies and landowners to determine feasibility to implement measure.
Remove at-risk structures from the floodplain. This can also include restoring the stream channel to its natural configuration to create additional flood storage.
Remove unhealthy/dead/dangerous trees near moderate to highly critical roads, bridges and rail lines and around utility poles and wires.
Re-establish former wetlands or rehabilitate degraded ones to reduce flooding. Work with relevant agencies and landowners to determine feasibility to implement measure.
