“…Even in a span of a few decades, social, economic, and technological developments drive the constant evolution of exposure and vulnerability to hazards. Therefore, there is growing interest in how much the number of persons and assets at risk has changed over time worldwide (Jongman et al, 2012;Kummu et al, 2016;Schumacher and Strobi, 2011), and what consequences those findings have for observed trends in natural hazards-related losses (Bouwer, 2011;Bouwer et al, 2007;Daniell et al, 2011;Munich Re, 2016;Schiermeier, 2006).…”

“…Other studies on trends in flood exposure were carried out, e.g. for Austria (Fuchs et al, 2015b), Italy (Domeneghetti et al, 2015), the Netherlands (Jongman et al, 2014), Spain (Barredo et al, 2012), Switzerland (Röthlisberger et al, 2016), and the United Kingdom (Stevens et al, 2015). The importance of population and economic growth, but also land use distribution, has been emphasised (Boudou et al, 2016;Sofia et al, 2017).…”

Abstract. The influence of social and economic change on the consequences of natural hazards has been a matter of much interest recently. However, there is a lack of comprehensive, high-resolution data on historical changes in land use, population, or assets available to study this topic. Here, we present the Historical Analysis of Natural Hazards in Europe (HANZE) database, which contains two parts: (1) HANZE-Exposure with maps for 37 countries and territories from 1870 to 2020 in 100 m resolution and (2) HANZE-Events, a compilation of past disasters with information on dates, locations, and losses, currently limited to floods only. The database was constructed using high-resolution maps of present land use and population, a large compilation of historical statistics, and relatively simple disaggregation techniques and rule-based land use reallocation schemes. Data encompassed in HANZE allow one to "normalize" information on losses due to natural hazards by taking into account inflation as well as changes in population, production, and wealth. This database of past events currently contains 1564 records (1870–2016) of flash, river, coastal, and compound floods. The HANZE database is freely available at https://data.4tu.nl/repository/collection:HANZE.

“…A few studies consider both the impacts of climatic changes to river flows and the future dynamics in the values at risk [21][22][23][24][25][26]. As drivers for changes in risk are not only varying in time, recent studies extend the dynamic framework of risk analysis toward a spatiotemporal framework [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Herein, the drivers of flood risk vary in space and time.…”

Floodplains and Complex Adaptive Systems—Perspectives on Connecting the Dots in Flood Risk Assessment with Coupled Component Models

Floodplains, as seen from the flood risk management perspective, are composed of co-evolving natural and human systems. Both flood processes (that is, the hazard) and the values at risk (that is, settlements and infrastructure built in hazardous areas) are dynamically changing over time and influence each other. These changes influence future risk pathways. The co-evolution of all of these drivers for changes in flood risk could lead to emergent behavior. Hence, complexity theory and systems science can provide a sound theoretical framework for flood risk management in the 21st century. This review aims at providing an entry point for modelers in flood risk research to consider floodplains as complex adaptive systems. For the systems science community, the actual problems and approaches in the flood risk research community are summarized. Finally, an outlook is given on potential future coupled component modeling approaches that aims at bringing together both disciplines.
