They can and have used emminent domain to buy out land because of flooding, and for no other reason than it will probably flood again. I had friends forced out of their homes in the St. Louis area after the Flood of '93, in several cases because of "repeat claims" (they had flood damage in 1973 as well).

The danger of fire, the danger of infectious diseases, the danger of potential toxic exposure to all kinds of mean, nasty shit - all of those are perfectly legitimate reasons to force someone out of their home. When the flood waters threatened a propane tank farm (there were 62 tanks, each containing something like 200,000 pounds of propane), they did a manatory evacuation of about 4 square miles - and they did NOT say pretty please when you were ordered to leave at gunpoint.
