Hey, I see a safe place way inland: Oklahoma...oops, earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods. Okay, Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa, all way inland so must be safe...oops again, floods and tornadoes. Okay, Colorado, oops...avalanches, tornadoes, floods, and forest fires.

Actually,
- if you don't live in a river flood plane, floods are a non-issue.

rxji is overly harsh but yes building in coastal areas really does need to be limited and done with natural disasters in mind.
For example, we took the boat down the River system from Chicago to Mobile. There were newer homes in the flood plane along many of the rivers but they were built on stilts ranging from 8-20' high. I'm sure it added to the construction costs but it changes a flood from a total devastation of the house to a nuisance and that's how it should be. It still bugs the heck out of me that they rebuilt many parts of New Orleans knowing full well the next storm is likely to destroy those same houses.
