| Zusammenfassung |
| A framework of guiding recommendations for effective pre-flood and flood
warning communications derived from the URFlood project (2nd ERA-Net
CRUE Research Funding Initiative) from extensive quantitative and
qualitative research in Finland, Ireland, Italy and Scotland is presented.
Eleven case studies in fluvial, pluvial, coastal, residual and "new" flood
risk locations were undertaken. The recommendations were developed from
questionnaire surveys by exploring statistical correlations of actions and
understandings of individuals in flood risk situations to low, moderate and
high resilience groupings. Groupings were based on a conceptual relationship
of self-assessed levels of awareness, preparedness and worry. Focus groups
and structured interviews were used to discuss barriers in flood
communications, explore implementation of the recommendations and to rank
the recommendations in order of perceived importance. Results indicate that
the information deficit model for flood communications that relies on the
provision of more and better information to mitigate risk in flood-prone
areas is insufficient, and that the communications process is very much
multi-dimensional. The recommendations are aimed at addressing this
complexity and their careful implementation is likely to improve the
penetration of flood communications. The recommendations are applicable to
other risks and are transferrable to jurisdictions beyond the project
countries. |
