Infrastructure upgrades: Replacing outdated drainage pipes, constructing larger retention basins, and implementing green infrastructure solutions like permeable pavements and rain gardens. Improved forecasting and warning systems: Investing in advanced weather monitoring technology and developing more effective communication strategies to alert residents to impending flood risks.
