It will get rebuilt that is the American way. While many people will experience devastating losses, most will, in time rebound completely and prosper from the situation. No matter how bad it is, it will be rebuilt. Seawalls and other means of retention will be engineered. It looks dire and grim right now but in time it will all be restored.

This could be one of the best things to happen to the city. As bad as this sounds the reconstruction and cleanup efforts will create opportunities, it will create a new economy, much of what people refer to as a "shithole" will now have the opportunity to be revamped. Most will want to return many wont. The abandoned land will be prime opportunity for development and reconstruction. I would stake a claim in the rebuilding.
