Review and update maintenance, operational, and emergency response capacity and procedures for Tribal properties and infrastructure to account for climate change. It is not just the siting and construction of infrastructure that can increase resilience, but also how those structures are used and operated. Complementing the updated design standards by updating operational as well as emergency response procedures can be important in reducing climate exposures and risks and enhancing adaptive capacity. For example, enhancing the maintenance and debris removal schedule for stormwater and drainage infrastructure can allow better performance during extreme precipitation events. The Tribe can also review and update emergency response protocols as necessary to ensure that the appropriate departments have adequate capacity and training to respond to more frequent or more intense extreme weather events (such as closuring roads when needed due to flooding or due to debris).
