Flood experience and access to insurance contribute to differences in homeowners’ post-disaster adaptation in a cross-border region of Western Europe

Homeowners are more likely to take flood adaptation measures after experiencing damage, mainly when supported by insurance, and this effect weakens with extreme damage, according to an analysis that uses survey data from 719 flooded homeowners in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

Exploring the limits and gaps of flood adaptation

This study addresses the limitations and constraints of flood adaptation. These limits could result in a growing ‘adaptation gap’ (the difference between actual and desirable flood risk), leading to unbearable risks and pushing communities in flood zones into retreat.
