Destructive, deadly flooding in Johnson County, Ky.

If you look in the background of the disaster reel, you can tell that these houses are built very close to an active channel, most likely on the 10 to 50 year floodplain. The dangers of building in this area are well understood in the academic sense, and in construction/engineering as well. Wonder what can be done to help people understand the risks they take in building in active floodplains?
