Some conclusions of the ADAPT project Problems –Many qualitative relationships (literature / expert judgment) which need to be translated in a quantitative terms Information about adaptive capacity Relationship flood characteristics - vulnerability Importance of different social flood effects –Double counting of effects? How to cope with this –Documenting uncertainty ranges –Carrying out a (Monte Carlo based) sensitivity analysis –Identify critical parameters
