Floods are common occurrences in Malaysia due to the country's tropical climate and high annual rainfall. Several factors contribute to floods, including continuous heavy rain, unplanned drainage systems, and destruction of forested catchment areas. The effects of floods can be devastating, with impacts such as destroyed crops and residential property, disease outbreaks, and loss of human life due to drowning. Proper planning of infrastructure and land use is needed to reduce flood risks and mitigate damage.

What is a flood?
 Floods are not a foreign thing to us. Living in a tropical climate, Malaysia receives a high
annual rainfall, which is between 1200mm (in dry areas) to more than 4000mm in areas
such as Bukit Larut, Perak. The Northeast monsoon which occurs between November to
March each year brings monthly rainfall of up to 600mm, thus bringing the threat of floods
in low -lying areas. In urban areas, flash floods often occur after heavy rains cause
property damage and also cause inconvenience such as traffic congestion.
Factors affecting floods
*Floods occur due to several factors. Among the factors that occur in floods
are:-

Continuous rain
 Continuous rain without stopping will
cause floods. Therefore, in low-lying
areas, rainwater will flow into the river.
Water-filled rivers will overflow causing
low-lying areas to be flooded.
Unplanned drainage system Destruction of catchment forest

water to overflow out of the ditch by plants. The heavy rain caused a lot of
causing flooding. Many drainage systems water to flow into the river. The river
have not been cleaned. does not get to hold large amounts of
rainwater. At this time an overflow of
river water will occur resulting in
flooding.
The effects of the flood
*Floods have a devastating effect on all life that can result in
death. Among the effects of the floods are:
Agriculture Destruction of residents' property

destruction of these crops will be
detrimental to farmers.
Death
The worst effect brought by floods is
human health. The flood that occurs will
cause the sewage reservoir to come out
along with the overflow of water. These
feces are scattered all over the place
resulting in various diseases such as
cholera and malaria. Floods can also result
in loss of life due to drowning especially
in low-lying areas and close to rivers.
Conclusion
 In the conclusion, the best defense against flooding is to find higher ground for high-value use while
balancing foreseeable risks with benefits before occupying a flood danger zone. safe the safety of critical
communities, such as hospitals, emergency operations centers, and police, fire, and rescue, should be
conducted in the areas closest to the risk of flooding. Structures, such as bridges, that are unavoidable during
flood hazards must be made to be able to withstand flooding. The areas most at risk for flooding can be used
for uses that can be abandoned temporarily the compilation of people retreating to safer areas flooding will
take place.
THE END…
