Realistically people that were hit really bad will need to be relocated to near by cities into apartments and they will probably have to find new jobs. It will take a long time to receive insurance claims/FEMA money to repair/rebuild their home. In the mean time they have to live somewhere and move on with life. They have to get back to work. Their kids have to get back to school. So if you could find a way to relocate the newly homeless to say the east coast into an apartment and find them a job you’d be a hero to that family. It took years to rebuild after Andrew. I remember driving past devastated neighborhoods on I-95 for a big portion of my childhood. People can’t sit around in a pile of rubble for years. This being a 500 year flood event will be the same. It will take many months to years to rebuild the power and road infrastructure and to rebuild neighborhoods, business, and general local economy.

That said not everyone is totally destroyed. The media will focus on the worst of it obviously. For example everyone I know over there is perfectly fine. They where in the northern eye wall the entire storm taking the heaviest winds but their homes are perfectly fine. They lost the screens over their pools, their fences blew down, a number of trees fell around their homes, they had to screw their doors closed during the storm because the negative pressure sucked their locked doors open, but being that there was a negative storm surge where an 18 foot storm surge was expected they experienced no flooding, they have no roof damage, their cars, boats, etc. are all fine. They have gas to run their generators, food and supplies on hand to survive several weeks to months without too much issues. They do work remotely though and their employers want them to go back to work. Without internet and infinite electricity that makes it very difficult. 2 million plus people are without electricity at the moment, so if you have remote employees give them a break.
