Adaptation Actions

1 - 17 of 17

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

163 - Utilize appropriate building materials for livestock enclosres that can withstand climtic extremes

293 - Identify and assist regeneration of water intolerant flora and fauna species

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
