    Relevant Options

    Coordinate with regional transit providers to identify alternative routes and stops if normal infrastructure is damaged or closed as a result of extreme events. Collaborate with rail lines and airports to identify and address critical flooding areas (i.e., capital projects for stormwater infrastructure adjacent to rails, culvert improvements, etc.). Elevate coastal buildings, roads, bridges and other infrastructure to manage projected sea level rise, recurrent tidal flooding and storm surge.
