Ⅰ. Background and Aims of Research
oThis study was conducted with the purpose of deriving policy improvement measures to reduce damage caused by urban inundation in response to the climate crisis.

Ⅱ. Status of Overseas Policies
oIn Chapter 2, implications were drawn from case studies on the current status of ountermeasures against urban inundation in Japan, the United States, Europe, and China.
ㅇJapan focused on structural measures to prevent urban inundation damage. However, as urban inundation risks have increased due to recent climate change, non-structural measures to reduce human damage after flooding are being actively implemented.
ㅇThe United States operates a system that encourages state governments to actively prepare self-rescue measures by linking the national flood insurance program with state governments’ countermeasures.
ㅇThe EU established a management system designed to boost virtuous cycle by linking preliminary flood risk assessment with the establishment of risk area selection management plans and implementation evaluation based on active disclosure of flood risk information.
ㅇChina’s sponge city development project has many implications for the dangers and lim
