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
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
Based on flood projections and flood history, elevate bridges to prevent inundation and reduce service disruptions.
Enhance and harden sub-grade to prevent damage/failure to pavement structures caused by inundation.
Identify transportation routes that can remain reliably traversable during severe flood events.
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,
