Several years ago there was a group of people trying to get flood insurance to only cover 1 or 2 rebuilds, but I'm not sure what happened to the plan. Flood insurance is relatively inexpensive when you figure out how much damage a flood can incur - even if the house still stands. It's the taxpayers who are picking up most of the expenses.
They finally put a 200 foot setback around here for building, but it was more for water quality than protecting homeowners from themselves.
