The Flood Buyout Program described in this week’s article had been meant for saving the city of Neosho located in the state of Missouri (FEMA, 2000). There had been befitting moves made by this program like risk-elimination by individual and collective initiatives taken by local communities as well as communities of particular states (FEMA, 2000).
