Foreword The parallels between the COVID-19 pandemic and climate risks are clear: they costfar more to react to than to prepare for, and the most severe costs are borne by themost vulnerable.Floods are the costliest weather-related events globally. Major flooding events arecommon, and the increasing frequency and severity of weather-related events linked toclimate change will likely increase the direct and indirect economic impacts of floods.Countries must be prepared.The Geneva Association has carried out broad and deep investigations into the flood riskmanagement (FRM) systems of a number of countries, beginning with the studies on theUnited States, England and Germany summarised in this report.Our findings are at least p
