Chapter Chapter 2 in Multiregional Flood Footprint Analysis, 2023, pp 3-21 from Springer

Abstract: 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?
