374 - Construct proper timber drying facilities to ensure timber is properly dried during rainy periods

375 - Apply chemical treatments for mould

376 - Plan and promote forest eco-tourism activities for dryer areas during prolonged rainy periods

377 - Design forest tourism activities that are rain-proof (indoor activities- greenhouses and indoor botanical gardens)

378 - Make personal pesticides available to tourists in mosquito-prevalent areas

379 - Construct tourism facilities (bungalows) with durable non-weathering timber species (not likely to rot)

380 - Advise tourism operators on differing weathering properties of various forest products

400 - Do not utilize sensitive Bush and VIP toilets in flood prone areas

401 - Do not drink ground water near bush and VIP toilets after flood conditions

402 - Do not use bush and VIP toilets in areas with undrainable clay soils

403 - Do not swim or bathe in rivers immediately following a flood event

404 - Suggest other types of toilet designs

405 - Septic tanks could be placed above ground to avoid flood contamination

406 - Develop and follow construction standards for water supply and sanitation, use of toilets in certain areas

407 - Consider toilet location in terms of nearby water sources, and also in terms of soil type, nearness to sensitive areas (coral reefs etc)

472 - Plant coastal, native, endemic and site adapted species on beaches and vulnerable coasts trees to control erosion

473 - Plant/protect wetland species including mangroves to reduce erosion

473 (a) - Erosion of coastal forest areas
