| Summary: | Flood is one of the most common natural disasters across the globe, jeopardising settlements along the floodplains and being considered a continued hazard for humanity. Malaysia is no exception due to its annual experience with flood during the monsoon season. Looking at the

Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang were the three states which were hit the most, followed by Perak, Johor and Sabah.
