Encourage utilities to bury overhead transmission and distribution lines to reduce downed wires and limit health and safety concerns associated with live wires, particularly in
Enhance and harden sub-grade to prevent damage/failure to pavement structures caused by inundation.
Create a network of cooling spaces (e.g., businesses, churches, community organizations, etc.) to provide heat relief.
Reduce landslide risk by building roads away from unstable slopes.
Modify the slope gradient by redistributing soil or rock mass or creating flat or gently sloping areas on steep slopes to minimize landslide potential.
Identify transportation routes that can remain reliably traversable during severe flood events.
