Description

There are tough questions about rebuilding in the US after Hurricane Ian in Florida and Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico. In Florida, the damage is in the tens of billions of dollars, and a crisis for insurance companies means that it will only get more difficult to recover. So how do you decide when it's better not to rebuild, but to start over somewhere else?
