Abstract
This extended abstract compiles statistics and information regarding the process of gathering water damage statistics. A questionnaire was
used to determine similarities, differences, and tendencies in the water damage statistics, in the Nordic countries Sweden, Norway, Denmark,
Finland and Iceland. The study aimed to answer what lessons were learned and what knowledge could be shared between the Nordic
