Title: Because many places that people build homes are at high risk of a physical disas
Post by: jjevens on Dec 10, 2015
Because many places that people build homes are at high risk of a physical disaster, some people have suggested that town zoning boards identify such high risk environments as "stupid zones." Which one of the following would probably not be located in such a "stupid zone"?


 
A) Along the coast of southern Florida, a retired couple builds their dream home on a barrier island.
 
  
B) A log cabin home is constructed in a dry, drought-prone, coniferous forest in California.
 
  
C) A new home is built in Iowa, about two feet above normal water levels and 1,000 feet away from the Mississippi River.
 
  
D) A new home in South Dakota sits 200 feet up a hillside, overlooking a vast natural prairie.
