You wanna know what China does in any natural disaster?
The PLA gets deployed to the disaster immediately, providing relief in the form of rescue, shelter and food handouts. Entire villages get reconstructed brand new where in the west they instead get fucked by insurance companies refusing to pay out to “acts of god”. Not a single person affected by the disaster goes unhelped.
What really should happen in weather disasters is a relocation of the affected population to a newly constructed location, less susceptible to weather destruction. If no such safe space exists then all construction needs to take into account the new conditions and adapt to it. All of this should of course be paid for by the state(it’s the people’s money anyway), and it can quite easily do so if it goes without a handful of bombs for a single year. A few billion is peanuts to the US military but would completely resolve matters like this and climate-proof things for the future as well.
