Would the private sector be able to be responsible for implementing relief aid and enforcing building codes, etc as a form of flood mitigation/rescue? (and why of course)
any examples or links would be interesting as well

If you mean, will the government make the rules, and then businesses enforce them, probably not. But if you mean that businesses might improve the safety of their buildings or provide disaster relief on their own accord, then you might be on to something. After Hurricane Katrina, Walmart was extremely effective in providing disaster relief (they got there before FIMA or anyone else from the government). And if businesses have unsafe places of work, they aren’t going to be in business very long.
The Red Cross. During Hoover’s presidency they lobbied against public funding because they thought it would decrease their donations.
And definitely the private sector can enforce building codes. After all, if you build even 1 shoddy building you can pretty much be guaranteed that you will never get another contract again.
