I believe they were talking a bout a slow, permanent evacuation of an area likely to get hit by more and bigger floods coupled with rising oceans.

How does that work? There's a reason why all the world's biggest metropolises are on the coast. Were would the people go? There are 20 million people in the Tokyo area.

And its actually not a problem. Rich countries can build flood defenses just fine. The Houston flooding could have easily been prevented if the US cared about infrastructure. After Katrina plans have been submitted. They just need funding.
