Re: Flooding - do we really care?

1, Obviously not as houses are still being built on floodplains AND people buy them.

2, Build it on stilts or some other measure to raise the house six feet off the ground. Of course that doesn't help with how to get to the house if the road its on floods and not much use if the flood reaches seven foot either but its a start.

Or even better build the houses so they float i.e. build them on a barge!
