Maybe We Should Step Out of the Way of the Flood

"...elevating buildings above the hazard is only a temporary solution to coastal vulnerability. It’s like standing in a river that is rising due to a flood. You can roll up your pants or hike up your skirt, but if the water keeps rising you will get wet. Better to just step out of the water." - excerpt from article by Rob Young in Yale's Environment 360.
