“…Despite the severe damage caused by pluvial floods and the increasing risk of occurrence, research on public risk perception in this context is lacking. Risk perception research currently focuses on river flooding (Gray-Scholz, Haney, & MacQuarrie, 2019;Liu, Li, Shen, Xie, & Zhang, 2018;Ludy & Kondolf, 2012) coastal floods (Kellens, Zaalberg, Neutens, Vanneuville, & Maeyer, 2011), coastal flooding because of hurricanes (Shao, Xian, Lin, & Small, 2017), floods in mountain areas triggering landslides (Miceli, Sotgiu, & Settanni, 2008), and climate change in general (van der Linden, 2015).…”
