Financial schemes for flood recovery, if properly designed and
implemented, might increase flood resilience. However, options for
the increase of flood resilience during the recovery phase are to a
large extent overlooked and the diversity of existing schemes shows
that there has been a lack of consensus on how to achieve resilient
flood recovery. Financial Schemes for Resilient Flood Recovery
investigates how the implementation of financial schemes
(government relief subsidies, insurance schemes, buy-outs, etc.)
might increase flood resilience. The chapters included in this
edited volume address the following questions: Shall government
relief subsidies exist when there is flood insurance in place, and,
if so, how might they both be coordinated? Where (or how) to decide
about build back better incentives and where to go for planned
relocation programs? What is the distributional equity of financial
schemes for flood recovery, and has it been sufficiently treated?
The book covers different approaches to flood recovery schemes with
specific intervention rationales in different countries. Empirical
evidence provided clearly shows the great diversity of financial
flood recovery schemes. This diversity of state-funded schemes,
private-based insurance schemes, and hybrids as well as planned
relocation schemes indicates a lack of a consistent and strategic
approach in flood risk management and flood resilience about flood
recovery. The chapters in this book were originally published in
the Environmental Hazards.
