Han, Yu and Zhong-Ren Peng, 2019, \u201cThe integration of local government, residents, and insurance in coastal adaptation: an agent-based modeling approach,\u201d Computers, Environment and Urban Systems<\/em>, Volume 76, July 2019, Pages 69-79 (https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.compenvurbsys.2019.04.001<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coastal storm surge has created over $10 billion losses per year in the United States. As the sea level rises and coastal population grows, this figure could climb up further. A successful adaptation to climate change would require active cooperation between private and public stakeholders in coastal communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our recent studies, we explored the interaction between the private and public stakeholders in adaptation and risk mitigation to flood risk by using Agent-based Modeling approach. Through simulating the decision-making process of adaptive behaviors of coastal households on risk mitigation under local and federal adaptation policies, the overall adaptation results in local communities has been evaluated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on Miami-Dade County\u2019s data, the modeling results indicate that households in the south and southwest of the county have lower risk perceptions, which result in fewer self-risk mitigation or adaptation behaviors, and therefore, federal subsidizing policies are needed to entice local residents\u2019 adaptation behavior. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our results also show the positive impacts of the voucher system for houses-elevation policy in addressing the affordability issue and improving insurance take-up rates in these areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, when the local government initiates adaptation plans that cover more communities with lower-frequency flood risk, the overall flood risk of residential properties in the whole county could be significantly reduced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modeling approach presented in this study contributes to flooding risk management in terms of community risk reduction and adaptation. The developed model can be further applied as a policy analysis tool for coastal adaptation management.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
