    If you fully expect to lose everything you have at some point then why would you wait until that happens to act? You won’t have a choice at that point so do something now and save what you can.

      No one uproots their life, says goodbye to lots of friends you probably won’t see again, switches jobs, takes the kids out of school and subjects them to losing their entire social life right now, just because the risk of flooding is increasing within the next 30 years.

        Saying that the whole state will definitely be underwater is a significantly stronger statement than “the risk of flooding is increasing”. Still, people move somewhere else every day for reasons a lot more trivial than either.
