In a sense, the home owner already assumes responsibility for building in a "Disaster Prone" area by paying higher insurance rates (i.e flood/fire/etc.). If one decides to build in a flood zone for instance, the owner must purchasing flood insurance to satisfy that requirement needed for acquiring said lien on the property.
