Predicting support for flood mitigation based on flood insurance purchase behavior
Environmental Research Letters, 2019 What is the decision-making mechanism people rely upon to mitigate flood risk? Applying Bayesian Network modeling to a comprehensive survey dataset for the US Gulf Coast, we find that the overall support for flood mitigation can be inferred from flood ...

Risk-sharing policies in the context of the French Flood Prevention Action Programmes [PDF]
This article analyzes the consequences for risk distribution of the French Flood Prevention Action Programme (PAPI). By redirecting floods from the most vulnerable to the least vulnerable areas, PAPIs expose farmers to greater flood risks.
