Climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is likely to intensify both weather extremes [1] and their impact on society [2, 3]. Disruptions by extreme weather events impact the health sector [4, 5] as well as the economy through perturbations of income [6], employment [7], economic growth [8, 9], energy supply [10, 11], and food security [12, 13]. In the aftermath of an extreme weather event, regions react in a variety of ways.
