1 - 20 of 23
60 - Raise/elevate river creek crossings highly
61 - Bury/lower river/creek crossings well underground
62 - If possible, have water pipes cross rivers/creeks at less vulnerable points up or down stream
63 - Use local knowledge of cyclone vulnerable areas when laying water pipes/infrastructure
305 - Use downed braches as a soil erosion/runoff break (sloped areas)
306 - Gravel/pave roads in logging areas
307 - Maintain proper crossings (streams and rivers)
308 - Introduce sediment catchment devices (leaves/branches or other sediment traps)
309 - Practice good log stacking and log piling to maintain production quality during wet times
310 - Use cable logging rather than bulldozers
311 - Shift forestry operations to dry areas/islands during prolong rainy periods.
312 - Appropriately zone and spatially plan logging activities within concession areas
313 - Follow and plan forestry operations and activities according to Meteo forecasts and outlooks
314 - Reduce working hours/tasks during rain times
315 - Plan for the extra available labor during rain times, to do other jobs and functions
316 - Expand the use of protective gear and clothing
317 - Introduce forestry workplace condition standards
318 - "Logging operations are compromised: erosion in logging area, muddy conditions, degraded roads and infrastructure, moisture & rust in equipment, machine idleness and breakdowns, wasted salaries/lost income, forgone timber harvests (economic), safety and health of workers. "
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)
