What they really need to do is declare that some places -- like shorelines and fire chimneys -- are no longer suitable for building in. That will happen sooner or later, because you can't rebuild indefinitely in a worsening threat zone. Sooner would mean a more controlled retreat with less money wasted and lives lost. It would be better to close out the obvious threat zones, but at bare minimum, if a building has been totaled twice, don't rebuild it again in the same place.
