Abstract
ABSTRACT Municipal flood plans represent the lowest administrative planning instrument for flood risk management. Their value for local representatives in coping with floods remains unclear, however. We present a survey of municipal flood plans among 356 municipal representatives in Czechia. Our results indicate that legal and financial incentives are key motivations for adopting the plans; there is a rather weak collaborative effort from private companies when preparing the plans; and the trust in value of the plans is rather low. This calls for stronger integration of local and national expectations regarding flood planning instruments and for new frameworks of their assessment.
