• A probabilistic approach to estimating residential losses from different flood types 

      Paprotny, DominikORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD; Morales-Nápoles, Oswaldo; Wagenaar, Dennis; Castellarin, Attilio; Carisi, Francesca; Bertin, Xavier; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD; Schröter, KaiORCIDiD (Natural Hazards, 2020-12-02)
      Residential assets, comprising buildings and household contents, are a major source of direct flood losses. Existing damage models are mostly deterministic and limited to particular countries or flood types. Here, we compile ...

      Abstract

      Reducing flood risk through disaster planning and risk management requires accurate ...

    • Interpretable Machine Learning Reveals Potential to Overcome Reactive Flood Adaptation in the Continental US 

      Veigel, NadjaORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD; Cominola, AndreaORCIDiD (Earth's Future, 2023-09-22)
      Abstract

      Floods cause average annual losses of more than US$30 billion in the US and are estimated ...

    • Process‐Based Flood Risk Assessment for Germany 

      Sairam, NiveditaORCIDiD; Brill, FabioORCIDiD; Sieg, TobiasORCIDiD; Farrag, MostafaORCIDiD; Kellermann, PatricORCIDiD; Nguyen, Viet DungORCIDiD; Lüdtke, StefanORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD; Schröter, KaiORCIDiD; Vorogushyn, SergiyORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD (Earth's Future, 2021-10-05)
      Large‐scale flood risk assessments are crucial for decision making, especially with respect to new flood defense schemes, adaptation planning and estimating insurance premiums. We apply the process‐based Regional Flood ...
    • Quantifying Flood Vulnerability Reduction via Private Precaution 

      Sairam, NiveditaORCIDiD; Schröter, KaiORCIDiD; Lüdtke, StefanORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD (Earth's Future, 2019-03-04)
      Private precaution is an important component in contemporary flood risk management and climate adaptation. However, quantitative knowledge about vulnerability reduction via private precautionary measures is scarce and their ...
    • Seamless Estimation of Hydrometeorological Risk Across Spatial Scales 

      Sieg, TobiasORCIDiD; Vogel, KristinORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD (Earth's Future, 2019)
      Hydrometeorological hazards caused losses of approximately 110 billion U.S. Dollars in 2016 worldwide. Current damage estimations do not consider the uncertainties in a comprehensive way, and they are not consistent between ...
    • The behavioral turn in flood risk management, its assumptions and potential implications 

      Kuhlicke, ChristianORCIDiD; Seebauer, SebastianORCIDiD; Hudson, PaulORCIDiD; Begg, ChloeORCIDiD; Bubeck, PhilipORCIDiD; Dittmer, CordulaORCIDiD; Grothmann, TorstenORCIDiD; Heidenreich, AnnaORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD; Lorenz, Daniel F.ORCIDiD; Masson, TorstenORCIDiD; Reiter, JessicaORCIDiD; Thaler, ThomasORCIDiD; Thieken, Annegret H.ORCIDiD; Bamberg, SebastianORCIDiD (Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 2020-03-09)
      Recent policy changes highlight the need for citizens to take adaptive actions to reduce flood‐related impacts. Here, we argue that these changes represent a wider behavioral turn in flood risk management (FRM). The ...
    • Toward an adequate level of detail in flood risk assessments 

      Sieg, TobiasORCIDiD; Kienzler, Sarah; Rözer, ViktorORCIDiD; Vogel, KristinORCIDiD; Rust, Henning; Bronstert, AxelORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD; Thieken, Annegret H.ORCIDiD (Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2023-04-28)
      Abstract
