Rebuilding in Flood Plains - It's Difficult to Resist

I'm on a roll today.

This is why incorporating natural disasters into a master plan is important, and why preparedness planning is also important. Have the codes and moratoriums in place that are automatically triggered when an event strikes, rather than trying to make decisions at the same time as rebuilding and recovery. Have financial incentives in place, coordinated with federal funding, to relocate to a more resilient location and people can rebuild quickly without putting themselves back in harms way. Quick-as-possible economic rebound only makes sense if it doesn't keep happening over and over, like flooding in a flood plain.
