TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the current state-of-the-art in flood damage analysis mainly focuses on the economic evaluation of tangible flood effects, and that important economic, social and ecological aspects of flood-related vulnerabilities are neglected.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of existing cost assessment approaches for natural hazard risks is presented, where the authors consider droughts, floods, coastal and Alpine hazards, and examine different cost types, namely direct tangible damages, losses due to business interruption, indirect damages, and the costs of risk mitigation.

TL;DR: This approach includes flood risks which are not measured in monetary terms; it shows the spatial distribution of multiple risks, and it is able to deal with uncertainties in criteria values and to show their influence on the overall flood risk assessment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced the adaptation of a novel method of multicriteria flood risk assessment, that was recently developed for the more rural Mulde river basin, to a city.

TL;DR: An approach to modelling multicriteria flood vulnerability which integrates the economic, social and ecological dimension of risk and coping capacity and explores a way to differentiate coping capacity from flood risk in each of the dimensions of vulnerability.
