In Australia in flood prone areas of North Queensland houses are built on stilts, so that if it floods the water doesn't reach the height of the house.

Can't that same thing happen in regions like in that video where they get a huge amount of snow? Then instead of the house getting buried, it remains above the snowline. They can exit the house down onto the top surface of the snow.

Yep but the mentioned region is not very rich cause all resources and money earned by citizens go to nearby China as more interesting for investment, so the left living there presumably poor to spend more than necessary on house, many are living at poor built from stolen wood houses and on illegally seized sites where it was not allowed to build at USSR times cause it is dangerous...
