Fortunately the Trump administration (in partial continuation of Obama policies) is attempting to reduce FEMA subsidy for people living in floodplains[1]. It's a messy process to end an unhealthy subsidy that many depend on but with this particular problem it may be worth buying people out--lives are at risk as well as just dollars.
