Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
Yes and we need to discourage those places being rebuilt in harms way. We no longer need cosatal cities as we once did. You can have your shipyards , your beaches , vacation cottages etc but rebuild the broken year round homes , businsses and colleges 30 miles inland. Use portable or seasonal businesses to cater to the tourist to the extent possible. Otherise it'll just keep happening. I mean what is Erma , at least the second "storm of the century " we've had in 12 years?
Also remember goverenment is inherently ineffient and for every tax dollar we send to Washington for federal disaster aid we could probably get a $1.25 ( or only spend 80 cents for what the feds charge us a dollar) worth of aid if the money was paid to the state instead of the feds and the state built bigger state disaster response teams. Part of the savings would be that the agencies would be specific to their area. No need wasting money on snow ploughs in Miami for example and the rest because the higher the level of government gets the more things cost.

Modernize mapping and charge market rates for flood insurance. That would solve the problem.
People won't build or buy in flood plains.
