And for next time, consider prohibiting new single story homes.
Require that all new construction be of at least two stories, and of substantial construction.
In very low lying areas, where even an upper floor would be vulnerable, prohibit new construction.
Or require built on stilts like some people do with beach houses. I've seen it done along a river in GA or SC. A person built one near a local river and put the bottom of the first floor at least eight feet above the ground.
