RISK = f (H, E, V)
Kinds of damages
DIRECT losses resulting from direct contact with the hazard (e.g. flood
damage to building)
INDIRECT losses are those resulting from the event but not from its
direct impact (e.g. business losses due to activity disruption). Occur in
space or time outside the flood event.

SI f (s, o / T , L, C )
significance (SI), it can be equal to 1 meaning damage is significant or 0
meaning damage is not significant
stakeholder (s), i.e. peoples role/responsibility; for example,
stakeholders can be private or public. Among private, citizens, insurers
and service providers can be identified. Public stakeholders include
instead public bodies like civil protection, local authorities, etc.
objective (o), i.e. the objective of the assessment; damage assessments
can be carried out for a variety of reasons: ex post to determine event's
impact, ex ante to estimate potential damage in order to choose among
different mitigation strategies, etc. We found that the objective is
univocally linked to T
temporal scale (T), the time scale of the assessment, i.e. the time window
the assessment considers after events occurrence;
spatial scale (L), i.e. the spatial domain of the assessment; damage
assessments can be carried out from the very local scale (e.g. single
building) to the very large scale (e.g. country level);
location (C), i.e. interviewees country. Roles and responsibilities vary
from country to country, according to their juridical apparatus.

use and non-use values that individuals derive from environmental or health
goods and services.
Use values relate to the direct, indirect or even optional use
non-use values relate to the value individuals derive from just knowing that a
certain environmental good exists or that it is being preserved for future
generations

DESCRIPTION
a) Location
b) Type of use
Contents value (and, consequently, damage) depends on buildings use (e.g. residential,
commercial, public service, etc.)
c) Level of maintenance
Well maintained buildings better face the impacts of floods than crumbling
d) Age
e) Materials
Some materials (like concrete and masonry) are more resistant to the flood impacts than
others (e.g. timber, plasterboard, etc.)
f) Number of storeys
The presence of more than one storey allows people to move contents to upper floors
g) Presence of basement
Basements can be flooded also in case of minor events (small water depth)
h) Number of openings
at street level
If ground floor is higher than street level water is hindered to enter the building
l) Presence of vulnerable
equipments
If vulnerable equipments are present in more flood prone floors than damage can be higher
