Summary

Rachel Ramirez writing in CNN, makes the following points:

• Streets are designed to flood, so houses don't.
• Native vegetation along roads helps control stormwater.
• Power and internet lines are underground to avoid wind damage.
• Some residents have their solar panels and batteries and drive electric vehicles.
• Residents from other suburbs have taken cover in the neighbourhood's solar-powered refuge.
