Clear vegetation and debris from drainage systems and clear drains more frequently to prevent clogging and flooding, especially before major storms. Determine appropriate maintenance schedule
Increase the frequency of vegetation clearance cycles to ensure overgrowth and broken/fallen vegetation is cleared before storms.
Develop a system that allows community members to voluntarily report obstructions (e.g., through an app).
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,
Remove unhealthy/dead/dangerous trees near moderate to highly critical roads, bridges and rail lines and around utility poles and wires.
Use technology-based monitoring techniques to help monitor landslide risk, such as geotechnical monitoring, remote sensing, and satellite imagery.
