Default Solution for flooded crawl space

I have a house in Northwest Indiana, it's on a crawl space with a sump
pump. *Due to flooding 2 years ago (Katrina) the crawl space was
filled with water and the sump pump couldn't keep up, and water
entered the house causing $$$ damage. *What can I do to avoid this
situation in the future? Add another pump? dig up the crawl space?
Raise the house? Can anyone give me an idea of house raising costs?

Thanks


To many things are not known, is house ground level, how much water,
was area flooded all around. There are pumps that will empty a pool in
minutes but will water just pour back in
