Risk management has reduced vulnerability to floods and droughts globally1,2, yet their impacts are still increasing3. An improved understanding of the causes changing is therefore needed, but been hampered by a lack empirical data4,5. On basis global dataset 45 pairs events that occurred within same area, we show risk generally reduces faces difficulties in reducing unprecedented magnitude not previously experienced. If second event was much more hazardous than first, its impact almost...
Urban flooding is of growing concern due to increasing densification urban areas, changes in land use, and climate change. The traditional engineering approach designing single-purpose drainage systems, dams, levees. These methods, however, are known increase the long-term flood risk harm riverine ecosystems as well rural areas. In present paper, we depart from resilience theory suggest a concept improve resilience. We identify areas where contemporary challenges call for improved...
Abstract. As the adverse impacts of hydrological extremes increase in many regions world, a better understanding drivers changes risk and is essential for effective flood drought management climate adaptation. However, there currently lack comprehensive, empirical data about processes, interactions, feedbacks complex human–water systems leading to impacts. Here we present benchmark dataset containing socio-hydrological paired events, i.e. two floods or droughts that occurred same area. The...
Pluvial flood damage to residential buildings causes a significant part of direct tangible losses. In this study, we investigate the non-hazard variables and sewer system types in relation costs city Malmö, Sweden. A comprehensive data set around 1000 records from cloudburst event on 31 August 2014 Sweden has been analysed at property scale with no lumping together data. The results show that properties connected combined systems are much more exposed pluvial than separated systems, ratio...
Urban flooding is a growing concern in Northern Europe. While all countries this region invest substantial resources into urban flood risk management, property owners have unequal opportunity to their managed. This paper presents the notion of equity focusing on exposure and compensation after sewage surcharge 31 August 2014 cloudburst over Malmö Sweden. All damage claims procedures assessing them were analysed based type sewer system (combined or separated) that affected properties. The...
Urban flood damage leads to major costs for private house owners, insurance companies, and water wastewater utilities. Analysis of claims can be used improve the understanding details characteristics reasons drainage system failures. However, few studies have data this kind investigate urban characteristics. We examined 3113 claim cases over 30 years (1992–2019) city Malmö, Sweden. quantified distribution frequency both minor damages period. Our analysis showed that most floods occur in...

This study addresses the role of natural hazard insurance in two European countries with different markets and socioeconomic conditions: Sweden Portugal. The analyses were conducted at national, regional (Southern Lisbon Metropolitan Area - LMA), local (Malmö cities) scales. Most damage caused by weather climate-related (WCR) hazards during 1980-2019 period was not covered companies (71%) Portugal (91%). An affordability analysis performed using income for national Unaffordability is higher...
<p>Urban flooding causes considerable societal damage and necessitates increased climate adaptation measures. Extreme rain events' rapid local character make them difficult to observe, assess, predict, warn about. One example is the flood event in Malmö 2014, not only terms of intensities volumes but also fact that more intense parts rainfall fell across central with adverse consequences (approx. SEK 100 million for 1400 claims).  These extreme...
