I agree on all points. Select the points where retreat is not an option and protect them; let everything else go and rebuild somewhere that makes sense.
Good luck with that though, what with Americans' fanatical attachment to a specific piece of land, rather than what that land lets them do - live. Amazing how many will give up some rights in exchange for safety, but not when it comes to land ownership (and not giving up rights, just relocating those rights to a place that makes sense).
