Like Phoenix

Little risk from Earthquakes, Floods (building in Flood plains prohibited), Tornados, Hurricanes, etc.

Let's get good planning and zoning first - DON'T build on flood plains, don't build on barrier islands, don't build on the beach, etc.

Then I will happily contribute. But don't brag about your beachhouse, then beg for help rebuilding. Don't keep rebuilding in a flood plain.
