Understanding the Effects of Climate Change and Hurricanes on Infrastructure Recovery
Rebuilding Infrastructure After Hurricanes
The aftermath of Hurricane Helene has left parts of North Carolina struggling with over 400 road closures due to severe flooding. This crisis illustrates how climate change poses new challenges for infrastructure.
Strategies for Climate-Resilient Roads
State departments are now prioritizing more resilient infrastructure to withstand heightened weather conditions caused by climate change. Experts suggest using data-driven approaches to design roadways capable of handling unexpected flooding.
- Pervious concrete can allow water to flow through and be absorbed into the ground.
- Higher road designs are essential to combat rising water levels.
- Temporary fixes are implemented as communities work towards permanent solutions.
A Call for Enhanced Infrastructure
In the quest for better roadways, adapting strategies and materials to protect against hurricanes is crucial. As climate patterns shift, so must our approach to infrastructure.
