Just saying that people can't live there because you might feel the need to go out there and save them from themselves is deeply problematic in my view.

We don't let people build certain buildings in earthquake zones. Entire towns have even been closed due to pollution risks. Governments do these things both to protect people from becoming victims, and to protect rescuers from having to risk their own lives pulling people out.
