Seems absurd to spend all that extra to make your house "flood proof". You'd still lose all your belongings just the same when/if it floods.

Disagree 100%, come the next flood these residents (myself included) will know to move all valuables and other belongings higher up. Had I spent 2 hours doing that last June we would have lost next to nothing.
However like this resident I clearly see a value in where I live, and we are taking some very big steps to mitigate our home from the next flood, and in essence have a floor of the house that will be "spray & wash" with almost nothing that will need to be thrown away.
Now we see residents doing what they can to mitigate the effects of future flooding, the question becomes what will our various levels of government do?
