Default Buying a home in a Calgary Flood Area

What are everyone's thoughts on buying a home in a flood area according to the GoA map below?

http://maps.srd.alberta.ca/floodhazard/

If you live in this area, what is 'flood proofing' and is it at all effective?

Is there something on the land titles of these homes due to the 2013 floods?

If the NDP go through with their election promise to build a dry dam, would it essentially make these area's 'safe'? Or is that a bit of an over-promise?

Also, I can't seem to find a area of effect of the 2007 flood, even Wikipedia doesn't mention it, doesn't anyone have a map for that?

Thank you for any comments!
