I am always amazed at the thought that floods and fires can get worse by the global warming crowd. If you build where it floods then you could have flooding. Depends on the storm, whether you have high tide, which way the storm hits the coast. How much rain that has previously fell before the storm hits to raise river levels. Fires are a different story, usually they can be controlled by forestry management. The houses that burned down in California, were man made disasters led by poor management.

Keep doing it!

Or are you speaking solely from your POV?
If baby boomers will be hit the hardest, it is because the Logan's Run initiative and the introduction of Soylent Green.
