Plant local, endemic, long-cyclone resistant species

Discourage introduction of foreign tree species with low wind tolerance

Identify and encourage plantation establishment in areas less affected by cyclones

Identify and plant dwarf fruit trees

Take out insurance on planted forests and forestry equipment

Establish seed orchards in cyclone-resistant and secured locations

Selectively harvest large, cyclone-vulnerable trees and allow small trees to remain.

Practice proactive management of forests (remove old, dead, diseased species that may cause damage during cyclones

Establish green belts/wind breaks around and within planted forests

Prop young trees with braces to enhance wind resistance
