Adaptation Actions

1 - 20 of 24

55 - Thoroughly inspect all bullock fencing before a cyclone to cut out any living branches on posts (i.e. purao fences)

56 - Avoid corrosive fencing materials (i.e. barb wire)

57 - Allow glycine to grow over barbed wire fences to provide a physical barrier to salt exposure

322 - Plant pasture grass species that can withstand flood conditions (para and elephant)

323 - Plant pasture grass species that can tolerate water (papolo and beans)

324 - Plant fodder tree species in pastures that tolerate water

325 - Move bullock to less flood prone areas including hill side grazing areas, and plateaus

326 - Make advance arrangements where bullock could be moved in case of flooding in the primary pastures

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

413 - Use Open and deep hole planting of Taro, dig a deep hole, place taro inside, do not bury so as to allow air cooling of the growing taro.

414 - Use low tight staking of yam vines that will not allow excessive drying out

415 - Bury harvested cassava to preserve it before consumption

416 - Learn how to make Manioc Flour (Modern & traditional methods) so that harvested tubers can be preserved for extended periods.

417 - Dig the yam, but leave it in an open hole in well drained dry ground. Cover the hole with coconut leaves.
