Can't they just ghost town High River? I am guessing there will be another tens of millions in government aid, and in 3 years it will happen all over again, and again, and again.
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy all of the owners out that live in high risk flood-able areas, make it a provincial park or something, and relocate them elsewhere?
It seems so frikkin stupid we go through these catastrophic, yet entirely predictable floods with that city every few years.
