最近的科学产出表明，气候变化可能导致全球洪水事件的模式和强度发生变化，在某些地区，人口更容易遭受严重洪水。未来的潜在风险突出表明，必须开展研究和干预工作，以加强地方科普洪水的能力，特别是对发展中国家的穷人而言。本文综述了洪水易发区家庭和社区脆弱性和适应能力的理论和应用研究。报告指出，干预措施越来越倾向于优先考虑地方一级的行动，并提出了进一步研究的方向，以加深对实际和潜在应对战略的理解。
Recent scientific outputs suggest that climate change is likely to cause shifts in the global pattern and intensity of flood events, in some regions increasing the exposure of populations to severe flooding. Potential future risks underline the importance of research and intervention work aimed at strengthening local capacity to cope with flooding, especially for the poor in developing countries. This paper reviews recent theoretical and applied research on vulnerability and adaptive capacity of households and communities in flood-prone areas. It traces the growing tendency for interventions to prioritize action at the local scale and suggests directions for further research to deepen understanding of actual and potential coping strategies.
