Earthships in flood zones?

I am living in and am constructing an Earthship and even in the arid high desert if moisture wicks into the wall mudding/plaster it will cause issues with the wall coating cracking or flaking off or crumbling. I tend to agree with others that if you can salvage or repair and upgrade what you have you can move forward with growing food and other things a lot quicker.

composting wood chips with chicken litter and fungi

So much good information. In arid regions my guess is that I should cover the compost and fungi with plastic in order to retain moisture.
