I live in Iowa, and have no where else to go. We'll probably see more floods along the Cedar River (which is 2 miles from my home), Derechos, tornados and heavy snowstorms (like we got yesterday), etc. I just hope that my home survives; some within a few blocks of mine have gotten destroyed (but, new homes have gotten rebuilt in their place).
No bureau of land management saying not to rebuild? Nobody out there advising on flood plans or levies? No city plan to protect the community from a rise in river water come the next 100 let alone 50 years? Sounds like you need to get active in your community. Or find and aid what action there is there.
If there is any part of your community at or under 1.5 feet, or about a half a meter, above sea level you need to take some kind of action to protect it, relocate it or abandon it responsibly. aka: leaving no toxins that could leach into ground water.

I am a bit of a shit meteorologist. I don't really understand much of their nomenclature. But if I am seeing the maps right, the Cider River will be in action or flood stage always after a 1.5 or 2 foot increase in measure. So whatever that means for the houses and businesses near it. For example in my own area the New Hope community (super fucking rich people, alot of pharma execs) has secured state and federal funding for all property lost due to flooding in those areas. Mean while my sister and her family can't get a reassessment on their state engineered flume to ensure their property.
While that is a personal example it is evident of the larger problem with climate change. The winners prior to climate change, that benefited from creating it, are setting themselves up to be the winners during catastrophic climate change. Nothing is being done about that.
