Donald Trump signed an executive order just days before Hurricane Harvey that scrapped many of the flood protections introduced by Barack Obama.
The current US President, however, has abolished a number of flood standards in an attempt to get infrastructure projects approved more quickly. The Federal Flood Risk Management Standard is among those to have been rolled back.
In 2015, Mr Obama introduced measures that made it harder to build roads, bridges and other infrastructure in areas that were susceptible to flooding. Plans for such projects would legally have to take into account the impact of climate change and be built to withstand future changes.
While the new regulations had not yet come into effect, they have now been scrapped entirely after Mr Trump decided they were too likely to slow down plans for new infrastructure.

That too, but this is 36 years in the making. The GOP has not given a shit about workers since the parties flipped with Nixon's southern strategy. 45 and the GOP are masters at making billionaires look like paupers who will end up eating cat food.
Makes no fucking sense tot me if you allow for lawsuits for defective air bags or VW cheating, that one would not want to punish this fucking company for not taking measures to insure the chemicals would not become unstable. But we also live in a nation where the CEO of Wells Fargo can get away with, "I didn't know, I didn't tell them to do that".
It's fucking bullshit. I am sick and tired of the right falsely selling the idea that the rich cant make money by doing the right thing. The auto industry did not go out of business because of seat belt and air bag regulations.
And what the top billionaires worldwide don't seem to understand is that if they don't stop being greedy and don't stop their global economy of exploitation, our planet will bite everyone in the ass and make life more difficult and create more poverty and more conflict.
Investment in prevention costs less long term, the world needs to stop thinking for short term gain profits.
