Let's define "areas like this", what exactly constitutes such an 'area'?
The images, videos and news clips alway appear the same but they actually aren't, it's not the same homes, neighborhoods or even the same towns.
It's random and scattered along most the entire countries coast, thousands of miles.
And we can't leave out the storm related flooding that occurs along the shores of inland lakes and rivers.
Then there's the tornados that touch down and destroy homes, towns and businesses all throughout the central regions of our country.
The west coast and basically all the densely forested regions of the greater northwest area are subject to catastrophic wildfire that destroys homes, personal property and in recent years entire communities.
When all these destructive events occur, FEMA steps in.
We all utilize the benefits of these areas and what they produce.
Some of it is life blood, from the agriculture along the Mississippi River, the lumber our homes are made of from the forested regions of the Northwest to the seafood we enjoy that's harvested along these Coastal regions.
Some is merely for our entertainment, it's pretty damn nice to head to the beach on vacation and get that waterfront B&B or hotel room and have a host of bars and restaurants to choose from within walking distance.
What do you wanna do?
Ban construction and occupation of land within 10 miles of our coastal regions? Within a mile of any lake or river?
Stop construction of any sort where a forest fire might breakout?
Move every home, farm and business off the Mississippi due to possibly of flood damage?
I've had enough of people that demand soft edges and rubber corners on everything in my life.
Life's a gamble, we all take our risks and everyone benefits in some form or another from the risk takers.
We just gotta suck it up and pay our dues.
And while we're at it, we should be dam proud to be a part of a county that's strong enough and wealthy enough to be able to help put it all back together after events such as these.

There should be a fund you could donate to. I’d prefer my money was used elsewhere.
FEMA is at least for our countrymen. Even tough it's likely as fuqked up as most gov't. agencies.
Cutting off bleeders like Ukraine would be a start. Then cut about half or more of the countries we give to. Many that if we quadrupled the amount it wouldn't make a difference.

Like around your home state? FEMA provided assistance for three disaster declarations in Tennessee in the last several months, including severe storms and flooding on Aug. 21, 2021, in middle Tennessee, and a tornado outbreak on Dec. 10-11, 2021, in middle and west Tennessee.

There is, it's called Insurance.

That’s the thing, ain’t it?
Every place has risks, they’re all different.
When Alaska gets a typhoon, it’s no longer called a typhoon but has the same dangers and damage.
We also get volcanic eruptions, some monster earthquakes, floods, wildfires. Pretty much every fugking thing.

When y’all find a place that has no natural disasters that occur let me know.
Life is a risk no matter where your are. Hell lighting could strike out in the middle of a crop field and start a wild fire and burn your house down and then what? Also let’s talk insurance, you can insure yourself to the gills and some insurance companies will find a loophole to not payout.
