The paper draws lessons from our empirical investigations in Germany, Italy and England/Wales in a very specific perspective: It formulates recommendations for flood risk management with people at risk. Thus it tries to shed light on the views of this important – but often neglected – group of stakeholders. Our addressees are flood risk management professionals, such as flood-practitioners and policy makers at European, national, regional and local levels. The recommendations relate to the following fields: flood risk awareness, flood preparedness, flood risk communication, participation in flood risk management and social vulnerability.

community behaviour
risk perception
Flood risk
Flood risk management
Public awareness

Social vulnerability
