Floods, storms, and heatwaves are here to stay - this is how housing can fight back. 💨 Storm-Resistant Design: Reinforced roofs, wind-resistant (hurricane) windows, and strong materials can defend homes against hurricanes and cyclones. 💧 Flood Protection: Elevate homes and invest in proper drainage to stay safe from rising waters. ☀️ Heat Adaptation: Use reflective roofing, natural ventilation, and shading to keep homes cool during extreme heat. 🌳 Green Infrastructure: Plant trees, mangroves, and buffers to reduce climate risks like heat and erosion. 🚰 Water Conservation: Incorporate rainwater harvesting, greywater reuse, and efficient plumbing systems to combat water scarcity.
