We estimate that at present in the EU and United Kingdom (hereafter, EU + UK), river flooding causes annual damage of €7.6(5.6–11.2) billion per year and exposes around 166,000 (124,000–276,000) people per year to inundation (Supplementary Tables3and4). In the absence of fu...
The loss model estimates property losses at all flooded locations. Using the computed surge heights and information from the property exposure database on the type of structure, the model applied flood damage functions to all exposed assets to estimate the total economic loss due to flooding. These...
