It provides a policy framework that addresses these risks, in a way that does not tie future generations to costly and unsustainable management. The plan aims to balance potentially conflicting interests along the coastline. The SMP is a non-statutory policy document for the planning and management of coastal defences. It does not set policy for anything other than coastal defence management. It takes account of other existing planning initiatives and legislative requirements and is intended to inform wider strategic planning. | http://southwest.coastalmonitoring.org/resources/smp/ndascagsmp2/ | 153866 | 2018 | 2019-10-16T18:33:19.143 | |||||||

As noted above during the rainy season areas with hardened surfaces, such as roads, are particularly more susceptible to flooding which is exacerbated during the cyclone season. Additionally, a large amount of these homes is also located in low-lying areas which are susceptible to flooding. The aim of this activity is to raise awareness amongst the citizens of Nacala that they are in high risk areas so that they can make informed decisions on how to better construct their homes to be more resilient to the impacts of flooding (e.g. through constructing sandbag walls around their homes), as well as provide local citizens with information on areas which are safer to build in which are designated for housing so they could move there should they wish to.

The Single Family Home Development Program provides $200 million for recovery and reconstruction as well as opportunities for residents to move out of areas prone to repetitive flooding.

This includes the use of landscaping strategies and stormwater management measures: • Adopt zoning and subdivision regulations relative to rainwater harvesting for sealed surfaces within various plans: o Site planning and architectural integration program (SPAIP, or Plans d’implantation et d’intégration architecturale (PIIA)) o Individual construction plans o General urban plans o Agreements relative to municipal works • Direct runoff water toward wetlands or watercourses, as well as toward public infrastructures that could serve as floodable lands over short periods of time during intense rain (parks, soccer fields, road segments) • Encourage optimal management practices that would allow rainwater to soak into the soil or to be harvested (ex.: green roofs, gardens and rain barrels, retention basins, etc.) instead of directing runoff water toward the pipe network o Remove downspouts that channel water into the sewers and direct rainwater toward permeable surfaces instead • Make regulatory changes for urban planning in general as well as in the way parking lots are built • Increase the use of continuous tree trenches • Encourage the use of plants with different kinds of root systems in phytotechnology projects Other adaptation measures than harvest rainwater are included in the plan for rain storm (heavy rainfalls). For complete information. please refer to the following briefs in the plan: 2.1 Harvest rainwater 2.2 Increase infrastructures’ and buildings’ resilience to runoff water 2.3 Minimize sealed surfaces 2.4 Ensure the capacity of stormwater and combined sewer systems 2.5 Increase and preserve tree and plant cover 2.6 Develop emergency measures for heavy rainfalls | 1942044 | 2016 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-73.554, 45.5087]} | 2019-10-16T18:33:19.143 | |||||||

The Urban Forest Masterplan conceives a green infrastructure that includes the urban forest, park land, sustainable transportation networks, and pedestrian areas. It provides a vision for Culver City's urban forest and a structured framework of five action areas and related strategies to support the achievement of this vision. In 2017, Culver City and Artecho (the consultants who helped to prepare the City's 2016 Urban Forest Master Plan) were the recipients of the American Society of Landscape Architect's Merit Award in recognition of outstanding professional achievement. In recognition of the City's Urban Forest Master Plan, Culver City was named a Tree City USA through a national recognition program sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service and National Association of State Foresters.https://web.culvercity.org/files/Culver_City_Urban_Forest_Master_Plan.pdf | https://web.culvercity.org/files/Culver_City_Urban_Forest_Master_Plan.pdf | 39860 | 2018 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-118.4, 34.02]} | 2019-10-16T18:33:19.143 | ||||

The estimated cost to manage the infestation is between $15-16 million over the next 10 years. The basic principles of the plan are to:1. Ensure safety of people and property, as they relate to dead or dying City-owned ash trees.2. Reach out to the community to ensure they are aware of the issue, their options, and how to access their options.3. Treat as many ash trees as feasible, but only invest in the very best candidates. Feasibility here includes both financial and biological constraints.4. Set recovery into motion as quickly as possible, even before ash-tree decline, if possible.5. Protect natural areas from ecological degradation caused by EAB infestation.6. Leave infested but “green” City-owned ash trees standing as long as they are safe to stand, to gain the longest “service life” from each mature ash. | Finance secured | Local | https://guelph.ca/plans-and-strategies/emerald-ash-borer-eab-plan/ | 131794 | 2016 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[80.25, 43.55]} | 2019-10-16T18:33:19.143 | ||
