<br />Ramsey County | Multi-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation Plan 74 <br />Action <br />Number Jurisdiction <br />Mitigation Action <br />Name <br />What is the problem <br />the action is solving? How does the action solve the problem? <br />Is this a <br />continuing <br />action from <br />2019 plan? <br />Action <br />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 the <br />effects of extreme heat by implementing <br />measures that enhance urban cooling and <br />reduce heat absorption. Key initiatives <br />include installing permeable paving to <br />improve stormwater management and <br />reduce surface temperatures, creating <br />greenways and planting trees to provide <br />natural shade and lower ambient air <br />temperatures. Additionally, the use of white <br />or reflective roofs on buildings will help <br />minimize heat absorption and reduce <br />energy consumption for cooling.
