That's good do hear. But it doesn't address the concern that if we do collective mitigation where we've already done individual (but taxpayer funded) mitigation , we could be blowing taxpayer money on individual mitigation that the collective mitigation may render unnecessary. If the government is going to do collective mitigation, then IMHO it should put a hold on individual mitigation in areas that might not be in the "Red Zone" once the collective mitigation is done.

There's a lot of residents around me (fringe area) that are not rebuilding their basements. The sentiment is i'm not going to rebuild until the govt and town has done the collective measures and I know that those collective measures will protect me from future flooding. This latest flood has scared residents and they are very hestitant about doing anything beyond the restoration stage.
