point is : if you let buildings and infrastructure crumble to the point where people move... They still need to move somewhere. So do the hurricane prone people move to tornado alley? Do the tornado alley people move to an earthquake zone? Do the earthquake people move to the hurricane coasts?
Everywhere you go has some natural disaster to weather phenomenon to contend with. The answer isn't get everyone to move it's let the people willing to put up with it stay and the people who want to get outta dodge leave to somewhere where they're willing to put up with the weather.
And in the meantime, maybe consider changing building codes to respond to increasing weather phenomena in certain areas.
