Add to ORKGDespite the availability of policy tools to mitigate property damage, relief costs for disasters continue to rise. This paper presents a framework for analyzing flood mitigation policies and policy design challenges in the United States. The system dynamics model prepared for this research was developed from qualitative data collected from over 300 sources, including the extant literature on natural disasters, statements made by disaster experts, government documents, policy analyses, and federal disaster mitigation policies. The generic structure developed for this research, the flood-1 model, explains the dynamics of major pressures in any flood-prone community. Eleven policies were analyzed against three scenarios to show the benefits an...
