In 1953 the North Sea flood caused a flood of massive proportions, flooding large regions of the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK. The Netherlands was affected the most, having a death toll over 1800 people. /2 
After 1953, the Dutch have greatly reduced their vulnerability by investing in protective infrastructure. They were able to afford this expensive infrastructure, because they became wealthier. This was called the Delta programme and it protects them against exceptional floods. /3
