Answer:
Although impacts of heavy rain on buildings in urban areas are often extensive, the public usually underestimates the negative consequences of that environmental risk compared e.g. to storm or hail events. However, the intensification of extreme weather events due to climate change as well as the rising physical vulnerability of assets are going to trigger the increase of impacts on the built environment. Heavy rain events are often highly localised that makes it difficult to estimate their probability and magnitude accurately. High intensity rain affects buildings both directly as well as indirectly. First, engineering surveys have already proven the broad variety and high physical vulnerability of building constructions that are directly and frequently affected by invading water during heavy rainfall events: flat roofs, roof terraces and balconies, connections between steep roofs and other building parts, soil-covered slabs of underground parking, soil-contacted basement walls and bottom plates as well as windows and external doors.
