Modern flood-proofing packages now cost 65% more than 2015 DIY kits, yet they reduce water-damage risk by over 90%. Homeowners can eliminate most of those expenses by leveraging AI-driven design platforms and tapping publicly funded resilience grants that cover large portions of installation costs. In my work with coastal communities,
