A comparison of sensitivity of estimates of risk to 5 different factors and to the Baseline case. Baseline case in also ranked to show which elements improve risk estimates (ranked above the Baseline) and which do not (ranked below the Baseline). Risk is assessed as flooding of land (left), people (mid) and property (right).
