This reminds me of how our government currently works. Local is a LOT more important than federal.

  In some situations, when it comes time for people to try to get back into their homes and recover what they've lost the federal government is going to be integral. Many people who have lost everything do not have flood insurance (and in many cases never even considered needing it). In cases like this where people are losing everything due to unpredictable weather catastrophes that are likely exacerbated by climate change I think its a perfect opportunity for the federal government (being an aggregator of funds from the entire nation) to help those who need it the most. As the climate gets more extreme we're going to need more programs like the national flood insurance program (and better/improved ones) [1].
