How What would a city look like that adapted to sporadic tsunami-like flash floods?

In a near future where super-cell storms drop massive amounts of water (300 l/m²) in the blink of an eye, cities  - built upon the cities of old  - havehave adapted to these tsunami like-like flash floods. But how? How do buildings and cellars look? What happens to subways, cars, and canal systems? What prevents buildings (containing air) from becoming pontoon boats when the floorfloors of valleys turn into temporary lakes? What does the warning system look like? Please use a typical concrete city as a example wherever possible.

Addition: As stated in the comments, there are examples of industrialized nations in asiaAsia (India, China, Bangladesh) that have this problem. However, due to the rainfall significantly increasing, even this industrialized nations are not properly prepared. Brand new cities in the tropical regions get regular flooding and all that keeps them up, is continouscontinuous rebuilding and repairing. Something that might not be viable in a more constricting economic environment. So to makmake the question more precise - how to adapt a existing city, located in the danger zones, to these new ocassionaloccasional floods?
