The idea that you think this is possible give me an idea of your grasp on reality. The government is made up of taxpayers, so that would be an average cost of $3500 per taxpayer. Relief efforts will cost enough without fanciful amounts of money being thrown at people simply because they were in the disaster area.
If they were dumb enough to live below sea level and surrounded by water, I can only hope they were smart enough to buy flood insurance.
Bad things sometimes happen. Just because you dont entirely deserve it doesnt mean you wont get stuck paying the consequenses. Thats life.
