A structure should incorporate the necessary features to survive where it is built. If one lives in fire-prone areas then cement, cinder blocks, steel walls and roofs and countersunk Hobbit holes make sense. If one lives in flood-prone areas then flotation and the ability to be disconnected from sewage for a week or two must be part of the design. There is no landslide or beach construction that fully addresses the worst-case scenarios. My observation is that our forecasting for black-swan environmental or natural hazard likelihood is poorly guessed and even more poorly understood.
