OP is not likely to be able to change KYC/AML laws, nor is the homeowner likely to be able to prevent the region from flooding, but they might have some effect on the bank (or could choose another one) if others implement those laws in a more efficient or effective way, just as the homeowner could upgrade their house to handle the regional flooding more effectively, or choose another house that did.
