“…This study employs a combination of qualitative and quantitative data, that is, interviews and surveys. This type of mixed‐method research approach was chosen, as previous research has highlighted the benefits from formal statistical analysis (e.g., Grothmann & Reusswig, 2006; Raaijmakers, Krywkow, & Veen, 2008) as well as qualitative data analysis to understand risk management (e.g., Otto et al, 2019). Furthermore, Ruark and Fielding‐Miller (2016) argued that combining these two methods provides better insights into decision‐making patterns, while enabling an additional channel of validation.…”

Integrated flood management strategies consider property-level precautionary measures as a vital part. Whereas this is a well-researched topic for residents, little is known about the adaptive behaviour of flood-prone companies although they often settle on the ground floor of buildings and are thus among the first affected by flooding. This pilot study analyses flood responses of 64 businesses in a district of the city of Dresden, Germany that experienced major flooding in 2002 and 2013. Using standardised survey data and accompanying qualitative interviews, the analyses revealed that the largest driver of adaptive behaviour is experiencing flood events. Intangible factors such as tradition and a sense of community play a role for the decision to stay in the area, while lacking ownership might hamper property-level adaptation. Further research is also needed to understand the role of insurance and governmental aid for recovery and adaptation of businesses.

Individual adaptation to flood risk is a wellresearched topic for residents (e.g.

“…Business contingency plans are not in place and a-priori determined response or recovery measures are not defined [1]. Especially in the rail sector, risk reduction and management of natural disasters and of disruptions are organizationally complex: they need to involve many different stakeholders often from different countries and jurisdictions [33]. Disruption management can be improved if involved entities have updated contingency plans on strategic and operational level, to react quickly [18].…”

Freight transport disruptions in recent years caused production shutdowns in the industry, supply shortages and high economic damage around the world. In practice, contingency strategies from transport operators are often weak and disruption management fails to handle the situation sufficiently. Despite availability of data collection, academic optimization approaches, and multiple initiatives for coordinated multimodal management in case of disruptions, there are multiple infrastructural, decisional and organizational issues, which limit their applicability. We study those factors by a literature analysis, and a survey in which we ask practitioners, authorities and academic experts to discuss specific aspect in structured and unstructured form. We summarize some parameters, which can be influenced by strategic, tactical, operational actions, and those others referring to systemic properties; or disruption characteristics, which can only be hedged against. Hereby, we offer a knowledge base to future projects aiming to optimize multimodal management at strategic tactical and operational scope, to counter disruptions in freight transport networks.
