Floods – an insurable risk?
Although flood disasters are increasing in terms of both size and frequency, cover against this risk is not available in many places. Should an explanation for this circumstance be sought in the insurance business itself?

The study examines the aspect of insurance, discusses the principles of insurability and presents possible risk assessment approaches.
