Ten Veldhuis, J.A.E. Kok, M. Clemens, F.H.L.R. Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Watermanagement and Hydraulic Engineering Date 2011-01-01 Abstract Insurance databases form a promising data source that can be used to improve pluvial flood damage estimations. This paper describes the key characteristics of an insurance database on water related damages to private buildings and content in the Netherlands that has been made available for research. The paper presents preliminary results of a case study where insurance data are explored to find relationships between rainfall characteristics and pluvial flood damage. The results show that variations in damage are partly related to rainfall characteristics. More research on rainfall characteristics and other explanatory variables of flood damage is needed to capture the processes causing damage.
