Adaptation Actions
121 - 140 of 174
355 - Undertake research on mositure tolerant chicken varieties
356 - Ensure small chickens (chicks) have access to elevated, fully dry areas for feeding and laying
357 - Plant water absorbing trees around chicken coops
358 - Lift the floors of chicken coops, raise enclosure away from ground level to prevent storm floods
359 - Ensure that pig enclosures have some permanently dry space
360 - Build roofing over animal coops and enclosures
361 - Pig enclosures sites should be selected for well draining porous soil types
362 - Do not place pig enclosures in known water channels/runoff areas
363 - Dig water runoff/drainage channels through flood prone pig enclosures
364 - Regularly move the location of pig enclosures so that excessive mud doesn’t accumulate in their pens
365 - Tanks should be conically shaped to avoid catching volcanic ash
366 - Utilize cement water tanks in areas with volcanic ash to neutralize water pH
367 - Ensure proper drainage: outflow needs direction away from infrastructures and towards a safer place
368 - Check that hand pumps are properly sealed (at top of bore hole) to prevent contamination and back leakage
369 - Fully check the performance of new systems 3 months – 1 yr after construction
370 - Build homes with cement around the base so as to prevent inundation
371 - Build homes that are raised above ground level to prevent household inundation during floods
372 - Build walls and sea walls to prevent storm surge related flooding
373 - Develop health guidelines on consumption and contamination by air pollution and ash
374 - Construct proper timber drying facilities to ensure timber is properly dried during rainy periods
