View Source Document: Swinomish Climate Change Initiative Climate Adaptation Action Plan
Year: 2010
Topics Featured In The Plan:
- Inundation of low lying roads and bridge approaches: Raise road level.
- Inundation of low lying roads and bridge approaches: Relocate route.
- Inundation of low lying roads and bridge approaches: Abandon Route.
- Road closure from storm/tidal surge event and/or wildfire: Develop alternate route plan for roads in the inundation risk zone.
- Road closure from storm/tidal surge event and/or wildfire: Restrict construction of public roads in risk zones.
- Reduced (potable) water supply due to decreased sources: Develop water management plan for drought conditions.
- Reduced (potable) water supply due to decreased sources: Rate incentives/disincentives for water usage.
- Reduced (potable) water supply due to decreased sources: Wastewater treatment of grey water for non-potable uses.
- Reduced (potable) water supply due to decreased sources: Water efficient appliances/fixtures for facilities and housing.
- Reduced (potable) water supply due to decreased sources: Voluntary/mandated water restrictions.
- Reduced (potable) water supply due to decreased sources: Water conservation/education.
- Reduced (potable) water supply due to decreased sources: Develop additional water storage.
- Contamination of drinking water supplies from flooding: Stockpile/maintain emergency water supplies.
- Contamination of drinking water supplies from flooding: Identify/protect vulnerable facilities.
- Contamination of drinking water supplies from flooding: Develop well testing/disinfection program for flooding events.
- Contamination of drinking water supplies from flooding: Increase stormwater management capacity.
- Service disruption of communication and energy systems: Develop alternate energy systems.
- Service disruption of communication and energy systems: Develop alternate communication systems.
