Measuring flood resilience: the Zurich Flood Resilience Measurement Tool

The Zurich Flood Resilience Measurement Tool is an innovation in community flood resilience theory and practice. Large-scale application in over 70 communities worldwide, with consistent measuring of pre-event characteristics and post-event outcomes, is generating novel empirical evidence about what really makes a community resilient to floods.
