I don't think its a question of "staying away" from all those areas as much as a question "if you are going to live there, be prepared to build it in such a way that minimizes the chances of it being washed or blown away becaues otherwise the government isn't going to save your ass."
I live in Upstate NY. I have to build a house in a way that withstands extreme cold. The government makes me. And if I didn't, and my pipes froze and wrecked every thing I own, both my insurance company and my government are going to tell me "tough luck."
