With 2017 turning out to be a year of very powerful hurricanes, it makes sense to ask whether it is time to re-evaluate how and where we rebuild areas devastated by the storms.
Recovery from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma will cost tens of billions of dollars, begging the question, should we rebuild in areas that were devastated by the storms and are more likely to be hit again soon as the frequency of powerful storms increases. Should public policy, in the form of the federal flood insurance program and the implicit promise of rebuilding aid, support expenditures that are likely to be repeated soon? Or should we abandon fragile waterfront areas and move residential and commercial centers to areas that are more naturally resilient to powerful storm damage?
