For example, in the United Kingdom alone, it is estimated that GPB 150 billion (EUR 177 billion) of assets and 4 million people are currently at risk from coastal flooding (Environment Agency, 2009). In Europe, long-term,investment in operational flood warning systems has largely ensured that fatalities due to coastal flooding are avoided; however, the damage to infrastructure and clean-up costs are,still significant.}, note = {Online available at: \url{} (DOI).
