Drought-induced building damages from simulations at regional scale

We present a model computing damage costs from drought-induced soil subsidence related to shrinking and swelling soils. The model uses an indicator applicable across different climate regimes. The influence of geology and land use on regional damage levels is taken into account. Simulation results a...
