Climate Change and Disaster Mitigation
Largely slow-onset disasters
Disasters and processes leading to the disasters are less systematically monitored
Rapid-Onset disasters
Runaway cities
Issues

Key Messages
Integrating climate change and disaster into planning
Timely production of credible, easy‐to‐use information
Multiple scales at which geocoded socio‐economic information is required
Mixed approach of grid‐based and administrative boundary based
Importance of Prediction and Scenarios; improvement of climate models
