“…Selecting from a variety of techniques to standardise the data, these quantitative indicators may be combined into a vulnerability index, a composite measure that can also be mapped. Examples of such exercises abound in the literature, ranging in spatial scale from global (Yohe et al 2006;Diffenbaugh et al 2007; and see review by Füssel 2010b), through continental (Metzger et al 2008;Greiving et al 2011;Lung et al 2013), to national (O'Brien et al 2004a, b) and subnational (Rød et al 2012;Swart et al 2012) studies.…”

“…There are few casualties from natural-hazard events in Norway but flooding, landslides, and storms cause major damage to buildings and infrastructure and thus appear as the more concrete and dramatic expression of the possible consequences of climate change . it is likely that there will be considerable geographical variation in terms of both exposure and vulnerability to climate-related hazards at the regional and local level (Holand and Lujala 2013;Holand et al 2011;Lujala et al 2014;Rød et al 2012).…”

“…To assess exposure to storm, we use a wind atlas showing the average number of storm hours. We have performed a similar assessment for the ward level in the Trøndelag region in previous studies (Rød et al 2012); in this study, we assess the entire country of Norway at the municipality level. The municipality level is chosen because we have data on the number of insurance claims due to natural damage aggregated to the municipality level for the period from 1980 to 2010.…”

“…A major challenge when combining the indices for exposure is to determine how these should be weighted when merged into one single index. In earlier studies (Rød et al 2012), we have used the so-called expert assessed weighting. This implies a search for the best possible knowledge base from which we could logically determine how exposure to flood and landslide should be weighted.…”
