Policy briefs

The key outcomes of System-Risk research are summarized in two policy briefing documents which explain how advanced approaches and methods for flood risk management allow for a more comprehensive understanding of risk (System Risk_Briefing_systems_perspective.pdf) and the benefits for flood risk assessment and management from using advanced tools and datasets (System Risk_Briefing_systems_approach.pdf)
