my point is...that if someone doesn't move...then they take the chance. I have donated many things to those in need whether it is the hurricanes...tornados...whatever. i don't have the exgtra money for taxes or to help people out. i can understand if it is once or twice...but after the 2nd time i would stay were i relocated to. I live in Arlington, TX and we had many people from Katrina here. several people stayed. I just don't get those that keep going back knowing it will happen again and they will lose everything again without insurance.

i do feel sorry for these people...but it's like someone that drives without insurance. that would be on them if there was an accident. it doesn't mean I wouldn't feel bad if they got hurt or lost their car....but should others pay because they didn't have insurance? that is why car insurance rates are high.

if someone lives in a flood zone...it should be expected that it will flood. I know insurance is expensive. but people have to take responsibilty. helping those in need is great (which I have done and will continue to do) but at what point does the state assume responsibilty for the levees and the housing...when do the people accept responsiblity for not doing all they can? I'm not unsympathetic to the poor not being able to afford things...but they made the choice to live there. I can't afford things but I assume the responsibility

It is never the victims fault when we are dealing with mother nature.

If that is the case most of the US would uninhabitable between hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fire, mudslides, drought, etc....we shouldn't live anywhere here because it will be our fault when mother nature strikes.

when they keep putting themselves back into th situation...YES IT IS

I would be willing to bet the next hurrican there destroys the city again. I don't live there and I know it will happen

without insurance and they choice to keep living there YES

last tornado that hit around me wiped out an entire trailer park...they government paid for clean up...but without insurance the homeowners were pretty much out of luck. My aunt taught in Venus when a tornado hit....it is a rural community and a poor community...most didn't have insurance and lost everything and only had what they could salvage and what was donated to them. and they understood they took the risk without insurance. it was hard on them...but they understood

winx....but when they evacuate....they are relocated and can start somewhere else. why put yourself through all of that many times???? I was in a typhoon....which is why I won't live near a coast. I'm not rich or even middle class...but I have personal property insurance BECAUSE I don't want to lose everything and end up with nothing. how many times does the tax payers have to pay before people realize it's not safe and that it will happen again? THEY make the choice. THEY need to accept some of the responsiblity for their choices

temp...I guess you are paying for nothing. But if you didn't have insurance and you knew it would happen again and again...would you stay?

There was such a down right criminal way the insurance companies did people after the hurricanes here!!!! DOWN RIGHT CRIMINAL!!!!!! These people had insurance only to get F........in the end..So look at people who had insurance.

Would I????? As winx has said some people dont have that choice.

Evacuated is not relocated. Relocated is when you move ALL your personal and important belongings to another predesignated locale with full intentions of living there.
