Short summary
The influence of flood types, i.e., fluvial, flash, and urban pluvial floods, on whether and how flood-affected people prepare for flooding is unclear but relevant for effective risk communication.

Most respondents were motivated to protect themselves, but flood-type-specific differences have been identified to enhance future risk communication strategies.
