Type: report
Abstract: Risk awareness and personal preparedness are seen to be important parameters in an integrated risk management scheme today. This study is contributing to the knowledge base about the perception of risk. Regarding the risk of storm-surges, an assessment of the perception and the status of personal preparedness of the people are addressed in an interview study in a coastal community on the North Sea. The results of this qualitative interview study are integrated with results of a previously conducted quantitative survey in the same community.
