Why did these people not have flood insurance?

As I understand it, and I could be wrong in this case, flood insurance in flood prone areas is usually government subsidized. I am not saying that many of these people did not make poor decisions. But if it is done correctly this could empower people who have bought into the big government lie. Even if it does not people are hurting, we need to help them.

I agree, but privately not with federal funds. I have no problem with federal funds being used for emergency care but not for social engineering.

The states are responsible for rebuilding, not the federal government. The people of Georgia didn't tell New Orleans to build below sea level or for people in MS or AL to build so close to the coast and not get flood insurance.
