is it better to be condemed or unihabitable but salvageable??

I would talk to the city. because maybe they have plans...that if no one really wants to move back...of changing the zoning for that area anyways. let them know you truely don't really want to move back...push comes to shove anyways.

I am so sorry this happened to you and am praying for the right thing for your family.

I guess in your situation, condemned is best. I think probably that would mean fema just gives you a flat dollar amount you can use toward relocation, but I don't know all the fema rules. I know some of them are pretty crazy. Example: the whole thing of Fema rules making the schools in the tornado alley where they just had all those tornados remove their tornado-proof areas and just stick kids in the halls - which fell in and were full of bricks and loose electrical wires in the tornadoes this time - next time there are tornados if they want their share of the federal recovery money. I can only say that's what happened to a family member of mine when they got fema money some years ago after a tornado.
