Options Used

Build electricity grid resilience by increasing system capacity, increasing tension in lines to reduce sag and adding external coolers to transformers. Lines and transformers may overheat and trip off Include increasing temperature in the design calculation for maximum temperature /rating Ensure support and stability requirements in the local version of the building code achieve appropriate wind loading standards.

Relevant Options

After completing a plan, revisit and revise the goals and strategies every 2 years based on implementation results and new information. Develop and implement localized adaptation strategies for areas of greatest climate-related vulnerability. Include vulnerability analyses in emergency management planning activities. Integrate climate vulnerability analysis data, as well as climate adaptation planning and funding, into existing emergency planning
