A bit sensational, but adaptation and mitigation practices are necessary.
- Greatly increased drinking water storage capacity.
- Significantly more storm drainage and storm surge protection.
- More organized mass evacuation plans and more robust shelters for stronger storms.
- Build new structures partially underground for wind and forest fire resistance.
- Don't rebuild in high risk areas.
- Insurance and government compensation should cover homes leaning into the ocean or built on unstable hillsides.
- CCS using carbonates and oceanic biomass, investing up to $20 trillion USD.
- Expanded use of greenhouses and indoor factory farming.
- Beyond net zero, get to net negative.
- Desalination expansion in areas with water scarcity, including long distance water transfer to drying areas such as Arizona.
Since the scientific models have been too conservative, it's prudent to plan for the possibilities of storms approaching the strength and size of a hypothetical hypercane.
