ALARM tackles a key challenge in flood risk management: how to design strategies that reduce community exposure to floods by considering not only physical infrastructure, but also how people and institutions change their behavior over time. The project focuses on understanding and modeling how these social and behavioral responses evolve both immediately after major disasters and in the years that follow.

By connecting social and behavioral aspects with community and governmental preparedness measures in the context of climate change, this project will contribute to the development of decision-support tools that integrate technical and social dimensions. The project also leverages ongoing work of the Behavioral Digital Twin of Rotterdam for flooding events (Resilient Hydro Twin Project).
