Miami-Dade and Broward requires buildings to be built to modern hurricane standards ("best in the world") but the rest of the state has resisted adopting the same standards.

I am not worried about wind, the houses here are still built like bunkers. Oak trees, cages, signs all got ripped up by Ian, but our neighborhood's houses were fine.

But the only thing that protects against flooding is building elevated, with an empty 1st floor or stilts or whatever.
