Are flood damage models converging to “reality”? Lessons learnt from a blind test

Are flood damage models converging to “reality”? Lessons learnt from a blind test

<p>Effective flood risk management requires a realistic estimation of flood losses. However, available flood damage estimates are still characterized by significant levels of uncertainty, questioning the capacity of flood damage models to depict real damages. With a joint effort of eight inter...
