[QUOTE="Trooper Joe, post: 3868752, member: 45088"] I think people should live where they want. If they choose to live in harms way, it is only reasonable that they accept the risks also. I wonder if someone can point to any mitigation program in Florida like this example I mentioned in South Dakota: [HEADING=2]Flood-plain management program in Rapid City, South Dakota[/HEADING] [LIST] [*][URL='https://www.semanticscholar.org/author/P.-Rahn/103964568']P. Rahn[/URL] [*]Published 1 July 1984 [*]Environmental Science [*]Geological Society of America Bulletin [/LIST] Following the devastating flood of June 9, 1972, Rapid City, South Dakota, embarked on a flood-plain management program. A “flood-way” was delineated and all homes and motels, as well as most commercial establishments, were removed from the floodway. Almost the entire area inundated by the 1972 flood is now a beautiful park, illustrating that man can live in harmony with natural processes without spending vast sums of money for hard engineering structures such as dams or levees.
