People, not just places: Expanding physical and social vulnerability indices by psychological indicators

Abstract Damage and disruption caused by floods do not just arise from the characteristics of physical structures, but also from the characteristics of residents inhabiting these structures. Social vulnerability analyses typically employ socio‐demographic proxy indicators that do not address the ris...
