We kind of live with this in the hilly parts of California, fire and then rain, then floods and then mud. There's an interesting show in the Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles about the fires and rain cycles and how it's good for keeping the ecosystem going. Mother Nature doing her job it seems. Unfortunately, we humans build our homes in the path of these natural phenomena. It's no different than people who build in tornado alley, hurricane areas etc.

I personally, wish the government took more interest in this, tightening building codes and other things that could be done. They do a lot but more needs to happen.
