Answer and Explanation:

The floods would be a strong reason for me to move, but if that weren't possible, I would adapt the house to, creating upper floors so that I could protect myself, as well as protect some belongings. In addition, I would remain in a state of alert, to predict any sign of flood, which would be bad and cause a lot of stress, and could even cause psychological problems.

Stress would take away part of my quality of life and change the way I live, leaving it with lesser qualities, which would be very damaging to my health and personal relationships. This stress could cause me to seek professional help to deal with it, this would require an economic expense that would make my change of location even more difficult.
