- Exposure Creep
- In floodplain and coastal development — the origin — levees and seawalls reduce flood frequency, protected land is developed, and total assets-at-risk grow even as the return period appears favourable: the "levee effect" or "safe development paradox."
This sourceDocuments the "levee effect" / safe-development paradox: flood-risk reduction draws disproportionate development into and adjacent to the protected floodplain (24% of developed land by 2019), raising total exposure even as visible frequency falls.
