N2 - OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to discuss the overlap between property-level flood adaptation and public health and flood risk management and identify areas of future research. DESIGN AND METHODS: A short essay-based contribution arguing in favour of a future research direction from the perspective of a disaster risk researcher.
RESULTS: Promoting property-level flood adaption has multiple areas of benefit to both flooding and mental health risk management as a potential invention. This is because both fields display common interests in enabling and promoting personal responsibility to limit disaster consequences and build resilience.
CONCLUSIONS: The promotion and development of property-level flood adaptation strategies can be a productive locus of behaviour for further active collaboration and research, as well as a joint intervention for improving human welfare postdisaster. However, more proactive research is required.
