Government has been doing this for years in flood zones, then prohibiting future building on those lands.
They buy them out because of Federal flood insurance.It's cheaper to buy them out than pay the insurance over and over. In my hometown on the Ohio river they also raised the homes up on a 10 ft tall foundation.
The options were raise up,buy out or stay at your own risk.No more insurance.
There is no federal lava insurance program.
