. This study examines the mechanisms of flood-riskprecautionary behavior among Greek citizens. To that end, we specify andtest a mediation model in which awareness-raising factors and confidenceattitudes influence the citizens' current flood preparedness andpreparedness intention through perceptual and emotional processes. Raw datawere obtained via an online survey that received 1855 responses. Causalrelations were tested by means of structural equation modeling (SEM).Overall, results indicate that risk perception and worry are significantdrivers of preparedness intention. In particular, they act as mediatingvariables, explaining how flood experience, access to more risk information,vulnerability awareness, and trust in authorities affect citizens' intentionto invest in precautionary measures. Especially trust was found to have anegative effect on worry, leading to lower preparedness levels. Worry wasalso found to have a significant role in explaining the current preparednesslevels. Interestingly, citizens who had already undertaken precautionarymeasures in the past appear to be more willing to invest in more measures.Implications for improving flood-risk management in Greece are discussed.
