文摘

We present qualitative research data to describe flood preparedness. Preparedness is undermined by low levels of self-efficacy and response efficacy. Those at risk need to understand that future floods may not replicate past events. The ‘levee effect’ can occur before engineered flood defences are fully constructed. Protection Motivation Theory is useful for understanding flood risk preparedness.
