Abstract
Recurring extreme floods during recent decades [50] make many believe that the flood danger is greater today than ever before. Indeed, floods (and drought) cause more damage and kill more people than any other natural disaster [37, 25]. In what way has the situation become worse? Is it a result of more frequent floods with higher magnitude or is it the vulnerability of our society to floods that has increased?
