DOI: https://doi.org/Areas that are at risk of flooding face an increasing and constant risk not only to their infrastructure but also to the mental and emotional state of the residents. This research looks at how people manage their emotions and perceive risks of flooding in the context of such regions. This paper focuses on the interplay of risk perception and emotional regulation to demonstrate important psychological and sociocultural determinants that shape actions during floods and in their aftermath. The results focus on the need to provide community education and also stress the need to provide integrated psychological assistance in preparation for the disaster.
