The only permanent means of removing high risk homes from flood prone areas is through homeowner buyout programs. Using an online contingent valuation survey we evaluate homeowner willingness to pay for a pre-flood buyout agreement where the owner is paid pre-flood market value for their home and must relocate following a flood damaging greater than 50% of the value of their home. Additionally, we estimate homeowners' willingness to sign up for a pre-flood buyout agreement coupled with flood insurance. We find self-reported flood risk estimates, income, the expectation of neighbors also signing up for the buyout, environmental concerns, and flood experience all significantly affect homeowners' willingness to pay for the program. When coupled with flood insurance we find self-reported flood risk estimates, income, neighborhood tenure, environmental concerns, and flood experience all significantly affect homeowners’ willingness to sign up.","abstract_html":"Flood events are expected to increase in frequency and severity as climate change raises sea levels and intensifies regional precipitation events.
