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.
Reduce landslide risk by building roads away from unstable slopes.
Identify transportation routes that can remain reliably traversable during severe flood events.
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,
