You are right, many of the houses that got flooded cannot be fixed, they will have to be demolished and built again, probably at some other, safer places. There were devastating floods in 1997 in the same very region so just like your mom, many people here got flooded again, even though they shouldn´t as various anti-flood measures have been taken since then. But like always, Mother Nature had the upper hand again, sending an extremely massive flood wave that exceeded even the most pessimist scenarios and calculations. That´s why the consequences are so tragic. I´m sorry that your family has experience with this kind of disasters as well :(
