Wife mentioned again last night about how their house would flood every year in the Spring, yet they kept living there. I reminded her that the river water wasn't full of chemicals and sewage. Can't even begin to imagine how rank the water was during Harvey or Katrina. What gets me is to see videos/news reports of idiots out playing in that nasty mess.
As for brick homes, once the drywall is removed, they also have to remove enough of the plywood/OSB sheathing to be able to suck out excess water and allow the wood to dry. They will pressure-wash all the wood and use a special disinfectant, suck all that out, then force air through to allow for drying. Even with all this, there's no guarantee that the house won't still have to be razed.
If a particular flood area did not have much for chemicals or sewage, then they may try allowing the structure to drain and dry out naturally, as brick cladding has weep holes (slots) and are supposed to be designed to allow for the walls to dry out.
