I'm back tracking a little.
I grew up in Illinois, just east of St. Louis. After the nasty flooding in the early 90s people should have learned a lot. I'm sitting here in the weatherless desert of El Paso, watching the news day after day in the midwest. I get a little confused. Some of those people complaining that their insurance salesman said they didn't need flood insurance...there is a difference between need and availability of that insurance. I'm sure they still could have purchased insurance for it. Sometimes have to be one step ahead of insurance companies.
I guess it is not always the most popular or humanitary response, though.
Once, when I was in college, I took an environmental disaster planning course to fulfil a geography minor. There was a discussion about people who choose to build their homes along cliffs and occasionally lose those homes. Prime real estate for some. I had the unpopular suggestion: Don't build your house on a cliff. Well, I guess it wasn't a course on common sense, more likely a course on how to make it work.
Now that I am in El Paso, not too many disasters. But we did have severe flooding a couple years back. I-10 became a lake, the interstate needed to have a hole drilled in it to get the water off. Marines were getting the cars off that had owners who just had to drive through water too deep. The intermittent streams sprang back into life, right into peoples' homes and businesses. Not one person took responsibilty for where they chose to live. Lots of new development out here. We are filling in those streams...water has to go somewhere and we lack storm drains.

Me too! The news is talking about how bad the things in the water are. One guy in particular almost lost a leg due to water borne disease.

There are always those times when when situations arise where a no way to predict a disaster that occurs. Those are fine but to build someplace that is clearly a flood plain, shame on you! Too much of a chance and we all pay for it. Some through higher premiums to cover them, others through higher premiums and having to go out and protect them and/or their property. Too much risk to life and health.
