A good sized portion of New Orleans is situated as much as 20 FEET BELOW SEA LEVEL. Rebuilding in those areas should require that the buildings sit on top of 25 foot stilts.
In the same manner, building codes for brushfire prone canyons in California should mandate reinforced concrete (fireproof) built to stay up in a 9.0 ricter scale quake.

It is just a lost cause, and unfortunately it's the fond home for a considerable number of people!
