Homeowners and the Resilient City: Climate-Driven Natural Hazards and Private Land
Thomas Thaler, Thomas Hartmann, Lenka Slavíková, Barbara Tempels
Floods are naturally occurring processes but can cause intensive damages when combined with faulty human decisions and behavior. They have shaped landscapes for over millions of years, and they continue to do so today. But flooding only becomes a problem when we choose to live in floodplains. In addition, flooding is exacerbated by us. There are several factors for this: due to soil sealing and straightening of water bodies, flood events become bigger and faster. Extreme floods are on the rise due to the increase of heavy rainfall caused by climate change. But even without climate change effects, heavy rains and floods can exceed flood protection measures beyond their limits.
