Description
Summary:This extended abstract compiles statistics and information regarding the process of gathering water damage statistics. A questionnaire wasused to determine similarities, differences, and tendencies in the water damage statistics, in the Nordic countries Sweden, Norway, Denmark,Finland and Iceland. The study aimed to answer what lessons were learned and what knowledge could be shared between the Nordiccountries to reduce water damage. Several suggestions and tendencies between the counties are introduced and what obstacles are hinderinga deepened cooperation, based on the answers from the statistic-gathering companies acting in the five countries, such as insurance- andindustry organizations. A first step should be to increase the number of buildings included in the statistics, such as multi-family and public.
