Not to throw gasoline but you can build in a flood plain. Now the pioneers did it and all over the world it is common. The structures are elevated with blow out panels around the bottom when they flood. Same on the Gulf Coast where the homes are elevated on pilings with blow outs but it cost more to build in that manner. The concept of building structures near the ground is not such a hot idea any place where it floods.
