</div><p>Before Hurricane Harvey made landfall on 25 August, there was little doubt that its impact would be devastating and&nbsp;wide-ranging.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Harvey delivered and then some with early estimates of the damage at over <a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/hurricane-harveys-impact-and-how-it-compares-to-other-storms/">$190 billion</a>, which would make it the costliest storm in <span class="caps">U.S.</span> history. The rain dumped on the Houston area by Harvey has been called “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2017/08/31/harvey-is-a-1000-year-flood-event-unprecedented-in-scale/?utm_term=.9cea7e0ef4db">unprecedented</a>,” making engineering and floodplain design standards look outdated at best and irresponsible at&nbsp;worst.</p>
<p>But to dismiss this as a once-in-a-lifetime event would be a mistake. With more very powerful storms forming in the Atlantic this hurricane season, we should know better. We must listen to those telling a more complicated story, one that <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/boomtown-floodtown/">involves</a> decades of land use planning and poor urban design that has generated impervious surfaces at a fantastic&nbsp;pace.</p>
<p>As the Houston region turns its attention to rebuilding and other cities consider ramping up efforts to make their infrastructure more resilient, it is this story that can provide valuable lessons for policymakers, planners, engineers, developers and the public. These lessons are all the more important against the backdrop of a Trump administration that has <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2017/08/15/trump-to-reverse-obama-era-order-aimed-at-planning-for-climate-change/?utm_term=.c034f82d238a">stripped requirements for infrastructure projects to consider climate impacts</a> and may try to offer an infrastructure investment&nbsp;package.</p>
<p>We draw from our research as a social scientist and an engineer and from our experience helping to lead the <a href="https://sustainability.asu.edu/urbanresilience/">Urban Resilience to Extreme Weather Events Sustainability Research Network</a> (funded by the <span class="caps">U.S.</span> National Science Foundation). Here are six rules for investing in infrastructure for the twenty-firstst century that recognize the need to rethink how we design and operate our&nbsp;infrastructure.</p>
<p>If we design with the technologies, needs and climate conditions of the twentieth century, we will no longer serve society and the hazards we will encounter now and in the&nbsp;future.</p>
<p><strong>A strong foundation</strong><br /><em>Proactive maintenance first</em>. In 2017, <span class="caps">U.S.</span> infrastructure was given a D+ by the <a href="https://www.infrastructurereportcard.org/">American Society for Civil Engineering Infrastructure Report Card</a>. The bill to repair all those deteriorating roads, bridges and dams would tally $210 billion by 2020, and $520 billion in 2040. For example, the <span class="caps">US</span> Army Corps of Engineers estimates there are <a href="https://gridium.com/united-states-of-maintenance/">15,460 dams in the <span class="caps">U.S.</span></a> with “high” hazard&nbsp;ratings.</p>
