Water 57
Overall, while each type of flood insurance discussed in this section is
premised on a similar set of insurance logics, these logics are mobile and
adaptable as they flow and circulate in different places and contexts. This
adaptive fluidity, as Law and Mol (2001) observe, can act to strengthen
things such as insurance. However, this does not mean that vulnerabilities –
or schisms – are not also apparent.
