<br />water, this strategy helps
<br />prevent water shortages,
<br />reduces the risk of
<br />infrastructure damage due
<br />to overuse, and minimizes
<br />the environmental impacts
<br />associated with drought
<br />conditions. It also raises

<br />This mitigation strategy aims to encourage placing
<br />power and other utilities underground to reduce
<br />overhead exposure of power and cable lines that may
<br />be vulnerable to damage from severe winter/summer
<br />storms (i.e., high winds, ice, and heavy snow).

<br />initiatives include installing permeable paving to
<br />improve stormwater management and reduce surface
<br />temperatures, creating greenways and planting trees
<br />to provide natural shade and lower ambient air
<br />temperatures. Additionally, the use of white or
