@ai6yr if you avoid all the areas which may be subject to disasters, such as fires, sea-level rise, drought, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, excessive snowfall, how much would be left?

Queer Like The Slur
@ghouston @ai6yr we bought above the flood line, close enough to the coast for consistent rainfall, far enough the forest to avoid high fire risk, all those considerations (not trying to escape the risks, just standard farm planning).
A few months ago we were hit with hail bigger than golf balls, every building in town lost its roof and windows.

Not all of those hazards are equally impactful. Sea-level rise can be planned around. You can prepare for heavy snowfall and drought. Even earthquake damage can be mitigated by building codes. Also, the way we build makes many catastrophes worse. We don't have to use such flammable materials, or build neighborhoods with only a single road to get out. We don't have to allow flimsy mobile homes in areas prone to tornadoes; we could even build underground if we wanted to.

@EverydayMoggie @ghouston @ai6yr We still need to move a hundred Miamis uphill.
