        <p>Hurricane Harvey has highlighted a climate debate that had mostly stayed out of public view -- a debate that&#x2019;s separate from the battle over greenhouse gas emissions, but more consequential to the lives of many Americans. At the core of that fight is whether the U.S. should respond to the growing threat of extreme weather by changing how and, even where, homes are built.</p><div class="hardwall" data-position="4"></div><div class="softwall" data-position="4"></div>

As the costs of extreme weather increase, that fight has spilled over into politics: Federal budget hawks want local policies that will reduce the cost of disasters, while many state and local officials worry about the lost tax revenue that might accompany tighter restrictions on development.</p><p>Harvey slammed ashore in Texas Friday with historic levels of rain and flooding.&#xA0;On Wednesday, the storm returned, making landfall a second time in southwestern Louisiana, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. At least 15 people have died so far in Texas, according to a count by the Austin American-Statesman newspaper. Thousands more have been displaced from their homes.&#xA0;Early estimates on damages range from $42 billion to more than $100 billion.</p><p>Contributing to the high losses is the fact that Texas, despite being one of the states most vulnerable to storms, has one of the most relaxed approaches to building codes, inspections, and other protections. It&#x2019;s one of just four states along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts with no mandatory statewide building codes, according to the&#xA0;Insurance Institute for Business &amp; Home Safety, and it has no statewide program to license building officials.</p>

In an interview just before Harvey, FEMA chief Brock Long expressed support for an Obama administration proposal to spur more local action on resilience, such as better building codes, as a condition of getting first-dollar disaster relief from Washington.</p><p>&quot;I don&#x2019;t think the taxpayer should reward risk,&quot; Long told Bloomberg in the interview, four days before Harvey slammed into Texas.</p><p>It may seem surprising that a Republican administration would side with its Democratic predecessor on anything, especially something related to climate change. But the prompt is less ideological that practical. Over the past decade, the federal government spent more than $350 billion on disaster recovery, a figure that will almost certainly increase without major changes in local building codes and land use practice.</p><aside class="inline-newsletter" data-state="ready"></aside><p>And much of that money goes to homes that keep getting hit. That&#x2019;s true for the National Flood Insurance Program, which Congress must reauthorize by the end of next month; some lawmakers, and Long himself, have said homes that repeatedly flood should be excluded from coverage. But there are also 1.3 million households that have applied for federal disaster assistance money at least twice since 1998 -- many of them in the same areas hit hardest by Hurricane Harvey.</p><p>In his interview, Long said his focus as FEMA&#x2019;s administrator will be working with cities and states to ensure that areas hit by disasters get rebuilt differently, in a way that&#x2019;s more resilient.</p><figure data-type="image" data-id="317182304" data-image-type="photo" data-image-size="half" data-align="right" class="figure-expandable"><div class="image"><div id="lazy-img-317182304" class="lazy-img"><style>#lazy-img-317182304:before{padding-top:140.03819223424568%;}</style><img src="https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/ipDZWbrRKbUE/v1/60x-1.jpg" data-native-src="https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/ipDZWbrRKbUE/v1/-1x-1.jpg" class="lazy-img__image"></div></div><figcaption><div class="news-figure-caption-text caption"><p>Todd Hunter</p></div><div class="news-figure-credit credit">Photographer: Max Berkhalter for Bloomberg</div></figcaption></figure><p>Some state lawmakers acknowledge the need to at least consider doing things differently.
