Über dieses Buch

The climate is changing, bringing with it increasing natural disasters around the world. The progress of societies lies in their ability to adapt to the new climatic conditions. Effective climate-adaptation strategies must be based in the sound analysis of the costs of the disasters, as well as the potential benefits and beneficiaries of adaptation strategies. This book offers an appraisal method to capture the total economic costs of flooding events: the Multiregional Flood Footprint Analysis. It captures the economic costs directly caused by physical destruction, and disruptive implications in production propagated through inter-industrial linkages in the current context of a global economy. The proposed method uses the fundamentals of the Input-Output analysis (IOA) in a multiregional dimension. It concludes that damages from natural disasters in one part of the globe may affect many economic sectors in the rest of the world, increasing the need for global adaptation strategies.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
This book proposes an appraisal methodology for the direct and indirect costs of the effects of natural disasters in a particular region and the resulting cascading events which follow in the multiregional/global scope. The evaluation of these costs constitutes the Multiregional Flood Footprint Assessment (MFFA). The term “natural” disaster is used in the sense of a natural hazard that significantly harms a community and might be a man-accelerated natural event (Gould et al. 2016), for example, an earthquake, a flood, a heat wave, a hurricane, or a volcanic eruption.

Chapter 2. Theoretical and Methodological Background
Abstract
The assessment of disaster costs is particularly difficult. How does one combine, for example, the destruction of a cultural heritage building with the loss of human lives or with the destruction of a house? Concerning the secondary effects of destruction, how does one quantify radiation pollution from damages to a nuclear reactor, or the loss in productivity because a factory outside of the impacted region cannot get necessary inputs from an affected factory on the other side of the world?

Chapter 3. The Flood Footprint Analysis: A Proposal
Abstract
The rationale of the standard flood footprint analysis (FFA) is disclosed in detail in this chapter. This analysis is proposed to comprehensively include both direct and indirect costs arising from a disaster.

Chapter 4. Case Applications
Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to apply the FFA to four cases. The first is the single-region version of the model applied to a real past event: the 2007 floods in Yorkshire and the Humber, UK. The second case is an application of the same model to an event that affected several regions within Europe. The third constitutes an application to quantify potential benefits of risk management strategies, considered as avoided costs due to the implementation of blue-green infrastructure in the City of Newcastle, UK. The fourth and last case study is the application of the multiregional model to a projected scenario of development and climate change for the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This last case represents the main model application of the book.

Chapter 5. Concluding Remarks
Abstract
A useful methodology is proposed to assess the economic costs from physical damages arising from a disaster to understand how the economic shock is transmitted and propagated to wider economic systems and social networks generating additional indirect economic costs. Important ripple effects caused by disasters have not been sufficiently researched in the past. Methodological developments are necessary to improve this research issue. This book has focused on contributing to a fuller understanding of the wider economic impacts of disasters, especially of the regional distribution of their indirect impacts.
