This option appears in resilience plans from around the country.
| Option from plan | Hazards Sort descending | Assets | Region | Source Plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pilot cool pavement applications. Coating existing pavement with a light-colored slurry seal can reduce pavement temperature during the day. Cooling asphalt and concrete reduces surrounding air temperature, | Extreme Heat | Transportation and Mobility | Southern Great Plains | Resilient Houston (p. 80 (pdf p. 82)) |
| Increase the use and frequency of preventative maintenance treatments (e.g., seal coats, crack seals) that reduce impact of high temperatures on roadway wear and tear. | Extreme Heat | Transportation and Mobility | Northwest | City of Seattle, WA: Preparing for a Changing Climate (p. 21 (pdf p. 33)) |
| Use pavement materials that can withstand extreme heat and high temperatures. | Extreme Heat | Transportation and Mobility | Southeast | Triangle Region, NC Regional Resilience Assessment (p. 208 (pdf p. 220)) |
| Encourage and install more reflective pavement or pavement coatings on roads and parking lots. | Extreme Heat | Property | Southeast | Triangle Region, NC Regional Resilience Assessment (p. 208 (pdf p. 220)) |
