![ingrese la descripción de la imagen aquí][1] San Pedro Sula features a tropical savanna climate (Koppen Aw), with year-round relatively high temperatures and plentiful rainfall year round. San Pedro Sula has experienced hurricanes and tropical storms and is prone to them during the hurricane season usually when the storms form in the southern part of the Caribbean or Western Africa. Plant trees and build green roofs to reduce urban heat island effect. Luckily, since we know what causes contribute to urban heat island effect, it is possible to control it. Although space in urban areas is limited, small green infrastructure practices can easily be integrated into grassy or barren areas, vacant lots or street rights of way. Green roofs are an ideal heat island reduction strategy since they provide both direct and ambient cooling effects. 1. Build green infrastructure improvements into part of regular street upgrades and capital improvement projects to ensure continued investment in heat-reducing practices throughout my community. 2. Adding trees in or around green infiltration-based practices such as roadside planters to help boost roadside cooling and shading. 3. Planting native, drought-tolerant shade trees and smaller plants such as shrubs, grasses and groundcover wherever possible. There are no policies in my community for this type of projects.
