There are fortified roofs and wind mitigation, but flooding is a concern. For larger hurricanes evacuations, even reversing the flow of traffic on some highway lanes, if the best defense.

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Does the rainwater capture disperse the water so collected immediately or does the dispersal depend upon "on-demand" deliveries such that some water draws temporary standing-water status until the next designated needs?

The rainwater capture would involve collecting as much rain as possible.

Online sources associate the chikungunya virus spreading with mosquitoes availing themselves of standing water.

Rain barrels can be considered essential in Unitedstatesian areas with lesser frequencies or with lesser quantities of rain water. They nevertheless feature among standing-water sources.

The second paragraph to the last subheading, Getting on with the job, indicates that "Attention to the heating system will have to be paid because some of the plants in the Palm House are very sensitive to the climate in which they are grown. Part of the design will be the provision of water. This is a complicated subject in the modern age, as climate change involves rethinking water supplies. The South East of Britain is predicted by climatologists to be liable to drought, and this places Kew in a dry region. Rainwater capture will have to be intensified and linked to systems of water storage."

Might that "rainwater capture" involve standing water?
