“…People who are affected the most by natural hazards are not often the people with 'haves', as we can see for example in the recent disaster of Haiti. This was also visible in New Orleans, which was before Katrina a major-renter city, but the governmental assistance programs focussed mostly on homeowners (Whelan & Strong, 2009). Also the negative effects of climate change-resulting in natural hazards affect vulnerable groups more than those who can afford to protect themselves or recover after a disaster or natural hazard.…”

Willemijn van Doorn-Hoekveld and Marleen van Rijswick IntroductionClimate change is happening and it will have severe effects on human wellbeing and prosperity. It is expected that climate-driven natural hazards will increase both in frequency and in magnitude in the near future (IPCC, 2021). These natural hazards will affect coastal, rural and urban areas. Besides effects on biodiversity and humans also property might be damaged or decrease in value. This requires disaster management, ranging from prevention to recovery. Protection of property and property rights are relevant nationwide at all scales and in all areas, although the discussion often focusses on property and property rights in urban areas.The question arises of how can best be reacted to the threat of increasing natural hazards and their effects on humans and their property.
