FEMA operates on the basis of repairing and restoring property damaged by severe storms. Holland tries to prevent or minimize the danger from occurring. Which makes more sense to you?
FEMA winds up repairing dangerous locations - such as seashore homes - more than once. The residents suffer more than once. Federal flood insurance is paid more than once to the same people. It's likely that the costs incurred by FEMA match or exceed those incurred by Holland. Plus, people in the states suffer a lot more than those in Holland.
A recent 60 Minutes tells the story well.
