Global climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time (IPCC, 2007). Particularly industrial countries are heavily dependent on continuously functioning structures that serve as the basis for future development and prosperity (Stern, 2006). These structures are often vulnerable to meteorological hazards such as heat, extreme precipitation, and flooding. Adapting to the inevitable consequences of climate change is therefore a central task of modern-day society.
