Flooding, homes and loss insurance as a risk-transfer mechanism in Vietnam
| This policy brief highlights flood insurance as an important aspect to reduce the risk of flood. Households in heavily flooded areas are especially interested in government-supplied insurance. This means that there is a clear role for government involvement in index-based insurance, ranging from promoting flood preparations to reduce vulnerability to providing the risk-transfer mechanism itself. | |
