Adapt Basic Residential/House Infrastructure for Wildfires, Hurricanes, High Winds, and Flooding. A Primer

Before this day is out
Just coming off the day after Labor Day

We can continue to rely on insurance companies for billions of dollars worth of payouts, every time a major weather catastrophe sweeps through
or,
we can adapt, just like all the other regions of the world

When the monsoon rains come through, the residents there did not wait until the day after the rains to figure out to build their houses on stilts

The spacesuits that our astronauts wear; do they wait until they accidentally get jolted by some high-energy beam that went awry, or, are they wearing gear at top of the line technology?

Instead of rebuilding houses with walls so thin that the house can be knocked down by a baseball that was hit after being swung at, let us consider a quality, the highest quality might be hard due to the quantity and number of houses involved, of housing structure materials, and architecture planning that is ready to withstand the 2 major weather weather conditions the USA has been suffering from over the last decade.

Wildfires and hurricanes

Technology exists, that houses can be made strong enough, and sealant proof enough, to withstand being underwater in high flooding for a while.  We built boats, yachts, submarines, and many others, why not a basic house that can withstand the same?  

After orders to evacuate, a houseowner, in the houses of the future, the not too distant at all future, should be able to return to their houses after the waters subsided, and the house and all its content on the inside is still in good shape.

Some of the houses and museums that when exposed to wildfire, do not necessarily have to go up in smoke as if they were paper houses on a display for color tissue paper display.  The basic structure can still be standing, and protect most of the content on the inside.  Perhaps repairs can be made in the aftermath, such a new paint job.  Nothing is going to bring back all that was there of a museum over 100 years old.

This blog post project is just to bring up the subject, and obviously does not have much detail; time is important, and the priority level of this concern is near the forefront; the blog post is intended to be continued over the next few days; either as additions to this one, or in additional blog posts.
