Flood mitigation measures.
One of the first step is to obtain data and risk assessement of flooding. Residents should be removed from harms way as those near low lying areas, rivers, lakes. And permanently declared unhabitable. The SC Mandamus might help
If it is necessary to declare certain Naga City unhabitable, let it be. Am sure there are plenty of areas where the residents can be relocated. We are constantly mired in this cycle of flooding and relief operations One of the solution is not to have relief operations by stopping the cause
1, Dams as in Holland. Several dams were built at rives to shorten the coastline. And they were massive. This was meant to defend the coastline of Holland form the onslaught of the North Sea. Remember Holland lies below sea level.
2. Dry retention ponds (in parks) these may be parks or buildings where flood water flow can be diverted so that the flow is slowed down. It could be football park, or buildings
3. Separate storm and sewer lines
4. Straightening storm drains
5. Egg shaped drain storm drains
6. Buried tubes to let water seep into the ground As in Toronto and Tokyo
7. Green infrastructures (to soak floodwater - sponge) Shrubs and trees to absorb the flow of flood water
8. Levees - the traditional way of flood control. But they collapse and causes flooding disaster.
9. Widening and reclaiming the flood plains for improved water flow (But what if the reiver banks have been improved or titled, reclaimed.
Am sure the MDDRC have these measures that are proactive, not reactive.
These alone or in combination can be constructed to mitigate flood
Our flood control engineers/geniuses can come up with better ideas. Or ask AI
