How will our economy will deal with repeated disasters that destroy infrastructure, where these disasters are mainly forced by climate change and are steadily getting worse. I believe these will eventually require one of two types of response. One is to increase the resilience of these areas (if such is economically viable) to withstand these forces for a reasonable amount of time, and the other is to retreat from the areas ravaged by these forces.

The primary "forces" I will focus on in this paper are coastal storms (hurricanes and other strong and persistent storms), inland flooding, and wildfires.

Below we will look at the economics, and a government program designed to be the ultimate solution (should all else fail), but instead has turned into the worst disaster of all.
