Approach
Increase resilience where roads and streams interact.
Tactics
- Adapt the design standards where future rain-on-snow events are expected.
- Develop risk assessment for road infrastructure.
- Perform road blading/grading activities during periods when natural moisture conditions are optimum
- and use water trucks as needed to supplement.
