How does the action solve the problem? <br />Is this a <br />continuing <br />action from <br />2019 plan? Action Status <br />34 Ramsey County <br />Climate-based <br />construction <br />This mitigation action <br />aims to address the <br />problems of increased <br />risks to public health, <br />infrastructure, and <br />environmental <br />degradation caused <br />by extreme heat <br />events in Ramsey <br />County. <br />This mitigation strategy aims to reduce <br />the effects of extreme heat by <br />implementing measures that enhance <br />urban cooling and reduce heat <br />absorption. Key initiatives include <br />installing permeable paving to improve <br />stormwater management and reduce <br />surface temperatures, creating <br />greenways and planting trees to provide <br />natural shade and lower ambient air <br />temperatures. Additionally, the use of <br />white or reflective roofs on buildings will <br />help minimize heat absorption and <br />reduce energy consumption for cooling.
