Is there a reasonable suggestion for disconnecting (no one available to shut off power) from pedestal with standing water?

Recently reading so much about hot skin shocks and electrocutions from broken RV park grounds and failed water heater elements, it might be time to upgrade some codes. If a GFCI in the RV panel board could detect a bad water heater element, why is it not required? If a ground trace wire could be at the end pedestal of a distribution system to electronically monitor the ground connection back to the service entrance panel and shut the power down at the service entrance panel, why is it not required? It seems putting folks lives at risk because it costs too much to make things safe is a false economy.
